Track 2 of 18 from Rod McKuens early album Lonely Summer.
It was recorded in 1955. There is dispute over what year it was released. In Rods own words:
1953...was the year I entered the United States Army. I received my discharge in early 1955 and later that year came to Hollywood where I recorded “Lonely Summer.” It was released the same year.
According to Barry Alfonso, author of Voice of the Warm:
According to Rod, his first LP was Lonely Summer, recorded before Lazy Afternoon...It may have remained in the can for a year or two several sources give early 1958 as its release date.
Billboard reports the albums release date as Spring 58.")
