I first heard this record on a 45 I still have somewhere. I was watching a parade at a festival in a small town in Southern Ohio. IRRC, I wasn't even 10 years old at the time. One of the local radio stations had a float in the parade. The people on the float were tossing 45s into the crowd and I caught this one (pre-internet, computerized programming and even CDs, kids). It's great that the song is available online all these years later.
