I love both Austin Roberts' version, which went to #9 on the pop charts in 1975, and Dickie Lee's version, which went to #1 on the country charts that same year. Both versions are excellent!

The song always made me think of a plot for "The ABC movie of the week".

What a sad song! It's a shame he ended up as a one-hit wonder.
