My father, Dallas Corey, was producing for Chart records at the time, and working with Jack Barlow. (Zoot Fenster) The story he tells of getting this single out is far funnier than the song itself. He related to me that he had received a middle of the night phone call from the Fischers in Kansas indicating that they urgently needed to get this cut before anyone else could. He was flown from Nashville to Kansas in a small craft, under storm conditions and thought he would not survive. In Kansas, they finalized the lyrics and music, and the record was cut within days. The record was selling quicker than they could press them until Sears threatened to pull advertising from anyone affiliated with playing the thing. Brought the party to a screaching halt. The 45 shows Publishing credits to: Georgene Music BMI. Flip side has "Zoot" singing "Vinegar in My Wine" by John Poznich.
