Wrong guys - there are two tunes with this title. The Bobby Vee pop tune was made in the 60s.

The jazz tune heard here was written for a 1948 movie by the same name. It was made most famous by Coltrane around 1960, though Horace Silver did it in the '50s.

And by the way, Ben Weisman credited above as the composer, actually wrote the Bobby Vee tune. The jazz tune was written by a guy named Buddy Bernier.

Most fake books have the wrong composer as well.
