The song was recorded on March 25, 1963 and became the biggest hit of his career, staying at number one on the charts for seven weeks.
This has always been onb of my favorite songs. My mother told me I was born in a ring of fire, since the hospital where I was born was in Highbury, London and it was one of those nights in the height of the blitz. The Nazi's had been bombing London again and the hospital was un-touched, but most of the buildings surrounding it were destroyed.
I doubt that's why I like this song, but the instilled memory is there.
