Charted at #34 on Billboard Hot 100 in October 1959. Remake of a 1954 hit for the following artists: #3 for Doris Day with the Mellomen in September 1954 (#4 UK), #3 for Joan Regan on the UK Singles chart in October 1954, #8 for Denise Lor in Billboard in September 1954, and #10 for Connee Boswell in September 1954. Later, it was #10 on the Country chart for Margo Smith in 1979.

Original Billboard review of the single: "Miss Kallen has her strongest side in some time. She reads the pretty oldie wistfully over fine ork and chorus backing. It's a tasteful and attractive side that can move well."

Written by Jimmy Brewster, Jimmie Crane and Al Jacobs.

B-side of the single is "The Door That Won't Open". Pictured is an album which was named after the single.

Kitty Kellen, elegida vocalista más popular de 1954, perdió la voz durante una actuación en 1955, en la cima de su carrera. Había trabajado con las mejores bandas de la historia del jazz: Jimmy Doresey, Artie Shaw, Jack Teagarden, Harry James... Tras la pérdida de la voz logró recuperarse y situar más éxitos en las listas. Había empezado en los 40 y llegó hasta los 60, cerrando su brillante carrera con un disco a la moda, bossa nova. Disfruta de otro de sus grandes éxitos, este If a give my heart to you.!!

So beautiful and sweet! I always loved this song from the '50s and recently heard it once again on a local Oldies But Goodies Radio Station here in Boston, WJIB 740 AM. (My favorite radio station!) It's a real pleasure to hear it on You Tube. I see that Kitty Kallen's songs were popular all over the globe from the postings I see here. It's easy to see why, her voice is so very wonderful!!

Excellent rendition. Very sweet and melencholy! I grew up with Doris Day's version which was the big hit. But Kitty has a wonderful cover. I wonder who would have had the bigger hit had Kitty recorded this in 1954! Thanks for posting!
