Fantastic rockaballad remake of a '20's song with that great late '50's sound. Did not chart nationally in Billboard, but charted locally in the Top 30 in Memphis, Tennessee in January 1959. "Oh, How I Miss You Tonight" was originally a hit in 1925 charting at #7 for Lewis James, #6 for the Benson Orchestra of Chicago and #11 for Irving Kaufman that year. In 1960/1961, Jeanne Black charted at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a remake and a recording featuring Jim Reeves and Deborah Allen charted at #6 Country in 1979.
Original Billboard review: A Billboard Pick. "The thrush presents a very strong warble on the oldie. It's one of her finest sides in some time. She does the pretty tune against mild rock backing. With exposure, she could have a strong item."
Released as a single in December 1958.
Written by Benny Davis, Joe Burke, and Mark Fisher.
B-side is "He Cha Cha'd In".
