Cooke really stretches here, putting his unique stamp on this classic melody. The B side is an uptempo version that actually charted twice — here, and as the B side of Cooke's first Keen single, "You Send Me," when it reached #81 in November 1957. Note: The A label has a tiny date on it (it's in the yellow "ray"... see scan).
