 It was released as a single in December 1965 by their North American record label, London Records, due to popular demand after radio DJs across the country started playing it from the band's recently released album "December's Children (And Everybody's)".It peaked at number six on the American Billboard Hot 100, and at number 10 on the "Billboard" Easy Listening chart, years before the seemingly more wholesome Beatles would see their first entry.The song was later released in the UK in 1966 as the B-side to the single, "19th Nervous Breakdown".
