​​​

​

The A-side of this single is not to be confused with the 1958 song from the "King Creole" soundtrack. It was a decent uptempo number coupled with a tender ballad on the flipside.

​​​

NOTE: RCA began to use their Washington plant in Durham to press singles. The 4-prong cutouts were narrower in size compared to the ones produced by CBS. The company sleeve was now upgraded using an orange swirl over a blue background.
