Roy C. (Hammond) and his guys on this one that I have this as the flip of "No More Knockin'" (the followup to their "Who's That Knocking" mini-hit). On the short lived NYC based Hollywood label (not to be confused with John Dolphin's similarly titled West Coast outfit)

I like it better than the top side.A good 7 for me

The Genies formed in Long Beach, New York and between 1958 - 1961 they
released six singles. Their members and their roles: Roy C. Hammond
(Lead, First Tenor)...

here are The Genies and Roy C. Hammond recordings that for some
or many oldies fans are even (or much) better than "Who's That
Knocking":
