Throwback Thursday: 1960

Here we are, about to introduce the truly BIG DOG in the Instrumental #1's Game. This is a song that spent 9 WEEKS at #, almost double the next longest run.

Incidentally, here's the Wikipedia synopsis of what A Summer Place was, which is something I've never known.

A Summer Place is a 1959 romantic drama film based on Sloan Wilson's 1958 novel of the same name, about teenage lovers from different social classes who get back together twenty years later, and then must deal with the passionate love affair of their own teenage children by previous marriages.
