American teen idol Shaun Cassidy recorded the song in 1977 and his version hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

There have also been many other cover versions of this song, including one by the songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich themselves, performing as the Raindrops.

The song is the first collaboration in songwriting by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector.
