It was one of the best selling singles of the 20 century!<br /><br />Collieguy, That would be a pretty funny song to play at a wedding.

Wiki has it being written by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King in 1947, and Roy Acuff as the first one to record it. I listened to his version, as well as Riatt and Jones, Patti Page and Les Paul.
