Legacy Recordings

Recorded in Nashville, May 8, 1961. Entered chart: July 24, 1961, peaked at #17.

Ann-Margret Olson recorded with the very best Nashville could provide, including Floyd Cramer (piano), Bob Moor (bass), The Jordanaires (backing vocals), and the superb Charlie McCoy. It was his harmonica playing that attracted The Beatles, who covered the song on an early BBC appearance. Ann-Margret’s singing, dancing, and acting talents would soon win her a starring role in the film version of “Bye Bye Birdie” and Nashville’s loss would be Hollywood’s gain.
