The relatively intense tune, featuring a Bo Diddley beat, performed well on both pop and easy listening stations, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 2 on the Easy Listening chart, based (at the time) on the Top 100. However, the single's Hot 100 chart run was atypical of a Top Ten hit. In the fall of 1961, it shot from 22 to 4, then dropped to 10, then 26, all within the space of four weeks. The single (a double A-side with "Little Sister", as in the States) spent four weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Charthttp://www.history-of-rock.com/doc_pomus_and_mort_shulman.htm Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman www.history-of-rock.com 2008-03-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20080514134017/http://www.history-of-rock.com/doc_pomus_and_mort_shulman.htm 14 May 2008 – one of Presley's nine UK chart-toppers between 1960 and 1962.
