The song was actually the b-side of ‘Love Don’t Care (Where It Grows)’ according to the label on the South Africa pressing. ‘Walk Right Back’ was first recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1961 and they would see their version get to 7 in the US and top the UK charts. Like Como’s version, their version also started out as the b-side of a single (‘Ebony Eyes’ being the other side). In 1978, Anne Murray saw her cover get to 32 in Canada and bubble under the US Hot 100, peaking at 103.
