Thanks for that song. I don't recall ever having heard it and it definitely sounds like a BB/HD song from that era.
I was trying to think who Adam Wade was. The name sounds so familiar. I had to look it up. Here's what I found:
17 March 1937, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. A romantic crooner in the Johnny Mathis style, Wade was working as a laboratory assistant for Dr. Jonas Salk, the man who discovered polio vaccine, when he auditioned for the Coed label. He eventually scored three US Top 10 hits: "Take Good Care Of Her", "The Writing On The Wall" and "As If I Didn't Know", all in 1961. He then disappeared from the charts for four years, returning with a cover of Elvis Presley's "Crying In The Chapel" on Epic in 1965. Wade later became a television actor and the first black person in the USA to host a game show, Musical Chairs (1976). He starred in an all-black production of Guys And Dolls in Los Angeles in 1978, and later hosted a talk show called Mid-Morning LA.
