Artist: Charlie Gracie

Year: 1957
First hit for that label. Anthony September is an alias for Cameo label bosses Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe combined. They also cowrote The Wild One for Bobby Rydell. Mann wrote The Wah Watusi (The Orlons) and Let's Twist Again (n°1 B & NL in '61 for Chubby Checker).
Covers:
Andy Williams [n°1 US & UK]
Bob Carroll [small hit US]
Not to be confused with Danyel Gérard's European hit in '71 (see: Hélas, trois fois hélas!).
