    I loved this song when I first heard it on my transistor radio. I begged my mom to take me to the record store so I could get the 45. I still have it.
    Mmmmm. That sexy growl.
    I always watched Dick Clark on Saturday night, so I saw this first-run, and not again until now. I still have my "IFIC" button.
    Thanx muchly for sharing this little treasure!
    RIP, darlin' Conway, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories.

    I was 7 years old when I first saw this and fell in love. I've got multiple recordings of this through the years on his albums and can tell the difference in each one. Cannot imagine how many times I've listened to it. It will be played at my graveside when I die

    This was Conway’s memorable first major hit that reached #1, sold a million records, and spent five months on Billboard’s Hot 100. It was the hot song of summer and fall of '58. I believe it. I absolutely love this song and this single record version in particular. This Beech-nut show appearance of Conway was of him lip syncing to his hit record. These and other performances were the MTV videos of their day. The artists that appeared on Beech-nut usually lip synced to their records. Very few actually performed live. Regardless, this music video strikes a chord with so many, including me. It was a 2 minute power ballad of the time. This is my favorite Conway song with "Hello Darlin" as a close second.
