One of the great backstories of 60's music here. Petula Clark was in L.A. doing the press junket thing in late '65. She was brought in for a quick session with the Wrecking Crew to record three songs. Two she liked - the third she loathed but did it anyway. An executive from her label said of the one she didn't care for, "We have a hit." Petula grabbed him by the lapels and said, "Don't you dare release that as a single!" Long story short...she relented, and wound up with her second #1 in America.
