Scrump -

yes it was. Couldn't find info about top ranking in 1965 but in year end charts of Billboard resp. Cashbox AWITBF reached rank # 47 resp. 46.
The sequence of succsess might have been like this:

- tune written for a radio show (TV?) in 1961 or 1962.
- used in an american TV-show in 1964 or 1965
- became a hit in US first, followed by UK and other countries in 1965.

This might have been the sequence. What do you think about it, Scrump?

And which american Mudcatters do remember? Any idea for which TV-show this tune was used for? Hi friends, we do need your help, to understand the rest of this story!
