Charted at #84 on Billboard Hot 100 in December 1957. One of my favorite records of all time. Original Billboard review: "Dramatic, crying vocal on a tune that recalls the era of full-voice warbling." Janice's most successful record was "Bon Voyage" which I've also posted. Written by O.O. Merritt and Vin Roddie. The other side of this single is "Moonlit Sea".

Does anyone know what happened to Janice Harper? I grew up belting the "Embers of Love" album into a hairbrush. My mother told me Janice had passed away in the early '60s, but I'm not sure that's correct. I'd love to have the mystery solved! Thanks in advance.
