Terry Carlton does an excellent job of keeping it stylistically very much in its 50s genre. The song does have some challenges, biggest challenge being able to make the mix strong enough at points in this song to sing it the way the platters did. Song goes from chest, head, strong mix, much to be learned definitely a challenging song for the male vocalist.
