Best known for their hot-rod songs ('G.T.O.' made it to #4 in the summer
of 1964), Ronny and the Daytonas had their second-biggest hit (#27, early
1966) with this wistful ballad.  Like so many of the entries in Andrew's
Ace Archives, I heard it on the radio earlier today (3/24/96) and dug up
my own scratched, off-center 45 to share some memories with the readers
of r.m.m.g.t.  -- AWR
