Although not in the database, this song peaked at #38 in BB, in 10/67. My commercial 45, confirmed as Mercury 72721, has a listed time of (2:37) and an actual (2:39). I own this on two CDs, but they are both stereo versions that run shorter: (2:32) on my Mercury "The Very Best Of Jerry Butler" CD, and (2:35) on my 2-CD "Iceman: The Mercury Years" collection. Those of us who collect the BB Top 40 peaking songs should probably look into this one further, as a unique 45 mix seems to be a good possibility here.

i just summed the stereo version to mono from the cd
"iceman: the mercury years" and it sounds spot on, except
the file runs short at 2:34...my commercial 45 issued as
mercury 72721 also runs 2:39...
