I have just discovered this web site and can quite clearly say that I wrote the song, words and music, in 1963. (How cruel was the snow....). It was first recorded by Nigel Denver on Decca SKL 5014 'Borderline' and has been recorded many times since. It was first published by Scott Solomon Productions and went through various hands until it reached Carlin Music from whence Duart Music aquired the rights. My email is Jawmac@aol.com and I would be happy to correspond with anyone about the song. I am deeply flattered with the interest generated. Slainte, Jim MvLean
