She had seen the sheet music in the Woods Building in Chicago and the lyrics attracted her . She recorded the song in February, 1952, in Chicago and it was released in March on the local Sharp Records label as her second single on August 5, 1952, after Jo Stafford, Patti Page and Dean Martin had covered it . James' version also was issued on M-G-M Records for national distribution . The best - known early 1952 version of the song was recorded after James' recording by Sue Thompson on Mercury's country label as catalog number 6407 . It was soon covered by Patti Page, whose version was issued by Mercury as catalog number 5899, with "I Went to Your Wedding" (a bigger Patti Page hit, reaching No 1) on the flip side . It entered the Billboard chart on August 22, 1952, and lasted 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 4 . </P> <P> A cover version by Jo Stafford became the most popular version . Issued by Columbia Records as catalog number 39811, it was Stafford's biggest hit, topping the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom (the first song by a female singer to top the UK Singles Chart). It first entered the US chart on August 1, 1952 and remained there for 24 weeks . In the UK, it appeared in the first ever UK chart of 14 November 1952 (then a top 12) and reached number 1 on 16 January 1953, being only the second record to top such chart, remaining in the chart for a total of 19 weeks . Another cover version, by Dean Martin, released by Capitol Records as catalog number 2165, was also in play at that time . This version first entered the chart on August 29, 1952, and remained on the chart for 10 weeks, reaching No. 12 . All the versions were combined in the rankings on the Cash Box charts, and the song reached No. 1 on those charts as well, lasting on the chart for more than half a year . </P> <P> In 1958, the song crossed over into rock for the first time on the Capitol album Gene Vincent Rocks and the Blue Caps Roll . A later version of the song, by the Duprees, also made the Billboard Top 10, reaching No. 7 in 1962 . It was recorded by many other pop vocalists, including Patsy Cline and Bing Crosby . A solo acoustic version was recorded by Bob Dylan for the 1992 album Good as I Been to You but was eventually left off as an out - take; the recording surfaced two years later in the soundtrack for the 1994 film Natural Born Killers . </P>
