We go back to June of 1961 and the sixth #1 for Pat Boone, but his first since late 1957 and "April Love." He was one of a number of 50's singers derisively called "white bread" who did very sanitized versions of songs recorded by rockers like Fats Domino and Little Richard. This record was about a guy who was supposed to meet his girl down by the river, but finds out she committed suicide. Dark stuff for 1961.
