The words and music were written by Buck Ram, the Platters&#8217; manager and producer who was a successful songwriter before moving into producing and management. The song reached No. 1 on Billboard&#8217;s Top 100, and No. 5 on the UK charts.<br \/>\nThe song has been covered by a number of singers, most notably by Freddie Mercury, whose version reached No. 4 on the UK charts.
