Notes: This
song was recorded in June of 1956 as one of five tracks during an early
session for what
would become Perry's September 1957 RCA Victor pop album
release "We Get Letters" . Only three
songs from this session
were eventually used in the album with other tracks recorded in February
of 1957. Of the two unreleased songs, only one was released in later years
within an RCA Camden
compilation. This song remained un-released until it's inclusion
within the 1971 RCA Camden
compilation "Door of Dreams" as
listed above. ( see unreleased listings within the album links )
