In 1960, the singer and actress Debbie Reynolds recorded a version that reached number 25 on the U.S. pop chart. The highest charting version of the song on the U.S. pop chart was recorded by the singer Engelbert Humperdinck on August 11, 1967. Released as a single in late 1967[1] from his album The Last Waltz,[2] it reached number 18 on the Hot 100 and number one on the Easy Listening chart in early 1968.[3] Humperdinck's version was also a big hit in the United Kingdom, where it spent two weeks at number three on the UK Singles Chart,[4] as well as in Ireland, where it spent three weeks at number one on the Irish Singles Chart. Humperdinck himself recorded a special version for Italy, in Italian, entitled "Dimenticarti non potrei" ("I couldn't forget you"). Petula Clark recorded the song in French as "Tu Reviendras Vers Ta Maison" ("You Will Come Back to Your Home") and Leon Russell recorded the song as "Hank Wilson" in 1973.
