Long time favorite it's an 8 on my list. He also recorded later as "Great Gates" (as on "Jump Jump Jump" on Aladdin aka Rock Around The Clock-Part 2)

This got big airplay over here at the time (without charting) and was a favorite then---and nothing has changed much since. I still like this country/pop thing now whereas I always disliked his later "When Mexico Gave Up The Rhumba" which DID chart here (#6 on NME chart in late 1956). That one was popular enough for Torok to undertake a 4 month long tour here in early 1957 where he was the headliner on a bill that also including longtime UK hit thrush Shirley Bassey
