Nov 20, 2008 - How interesting! I never knew this existed! July '73 was just about a year before Connie's November '74 tragedy... I find it incredible that Connie (like Neil Sedaka) is still not a part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! :-(

Nov 21, 2008 - I think this was likely her last single before the tragedy. I was shocked when I first found it too, as she didn't release many recordings during this period. I find it suspicious that Connie and Neil are not in the Hall of Fame, when they have inducted some artists who had only a few big hits during the same time period. I don't think the Hall can be taken seriously until Connie and Neil are inducted.

Nov 23, 2008 - I bought this single when it first was released. I think, the b side was "Paint the Rain," but I'm not really sure. The single wasn't too heavily promoted. Why Connie and Neil are not in the R&R Hall of fame is a mystery. Connie, I believe, was the first white female to have a million selling original R&R Hit and Neil wrote it; (Stupid Cupid). I don't take the R&R Hall of Fame seriously because of Connie's and Neil's exclusion.
