-Bobby Vee - Take Good Care Of My Baby...3 weeks at #1 on the US charts.....
-Shirley Bassey - Reach For The Stars / Climb Ev'ry Mountain....1 week at #1 on the UK list
-Eddie Hodges - I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door....7 weeks at the #1 spot on the Aussie charts.....

Guess it's because my family is Italian and I know all the Frankie songs, but I love this song! :sigh:

I like Sinatra, too, but I didn't recognize the name of this one. Once I looked it up on YT, I knew it. She should never have done this one--her dad's voice is MILES better. (I think that every time I hear Close My Eyes Forever, too. Bad move, Lita Ford... bad move :D)
