Accompanied by an orchestra arranged and conducted by Henri René, the song peaked at number 6 on the pop charts in 1951.

[5] Stevens returned to the US charts in 1959 with the song "Teach Me Tiger", which caused a minor uproar for its sexual suggestiveness and consequently did not receive airplay on many radio stations.

[7] Stevens was best known for her 1963 Atco recording of "Deep Purple" (music originally composed for piano[1] by Peter DeRose and lyrics by Mitchell Parish) with her brother Antonino LoTempio (singing under the stage name Nino Tempo).

[11] Nino and April never attained another number 1, as their style of jazz-influenced pop gave way to the British invasion, especially the Beatles.

[1] The duo enjoyed a 1964 follow-up hit in the US with the standard "Whispering" (music by Vincent Rose and lyrics by Richard Coburn and John Schonberger).

The recording, which had an arrangement similar to their version of "Deep Purple", reached number 11 on the Hot 100 singles chart.
