And (HUGS) to you. All is well in Arizona? It’s still chilly here, and it rained all day. Unlike the usual Southern downpour, it was a gentle, soaking rain.

From November of 1964. The Wrecking Crew did the instrumental backup, and the opening is still a killer. Love the sense of menace.

In 1967, my musical tastes were somewhat different from those of my peers. I found this disc in the 45 rpm bin at or local record shop on Greenleaf Ave. in Whittier, Calif., and I'm pretty sure I played it for the first time on Friday, November 17, 1967, shortly after coming home from school.
