Overview

The song was recorded in 1963, and came after a small chart decline, but the track did better than her last single, reaching No. 10 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart, No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 32 in Canada. [2] [3]

The B-side, a more rock 'n' roll song, charted at the position as "Your Other Love" in Australia, (No. 54) [4] and a very low No. 136 on Cash Box. [5] Later it was included in her Rocksides (1957–64) compilation.

"Your Other Love" was released as a single in Japan with "Danke Schoen", both songs in Japanese. The song was released as the B-side to her French version of "My Heart Cries For You" in 1967 as "Un autre amour".
