Wallace's version had a #19 hit on the Billboard Top 100 when his version was released in 1964. Martin's version was released as a single in 1967 and went to number one on the Easy Listening chart and number forty-six on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The song was Martin's fifth and final number one on the Easy Listening chart.
