Tony's first Billboard chart single. In the UK, this song was a bigger hit, charting at #3 for Billy Fury also in May. A remake by Bobby Vinton charted at #23 in July 1968 (#8 Adult Contemporary). Original Billboard review: "New singer debuts on the label with a mighty good reading of a meaningful ballad, aided by a very smart arrangement by the orchestra and chorus. The side could break through. Watch it." Written by Gerry Goffin & Carole King. B-side is "Lonely Tomorrows". (Show link)
