A recording by Joni James (MGM Records catalog number 11333) reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts for four weeks in September 1952.[3] Competing versions by Patti Page (Mercury Records catalog number 70025, reaching chart position No. 4) and Margaret Whiting (Capitol Records catalog number 2292, reaching chart position No. 29) also charted in 1952. The B-side to Page's version was the well-known song "Conquest".[4] On the Cash Box Best-Selling Record list, where all versions were combined (co-chart), the song also reached No. 1 that year.
