In 1962, The Lettermen released their version as a single. It made it to #5 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, but the b-side of the single, "How Is Julie?," became the bigger hit.
In 1968, The Vogues released their remake as a single. This version was very successful, reaching #7 on the Hot 100.[2]. This version also peaked at number three on the Adult Contemporary chart [3].
In 1964, while Bee Gees were still in Australia, they released a version of the song which did not chart.[4]
Other artists who have recorded this song include Eddy Arnold, The Bachelors, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, and Esther Phillips.
This song was featured in the film Final Destination 3. The song, however, was cut to only the first few lines, thus transforming it from a love song to the stalkers' creed. It was also used as a warning for death in the film.
