 A week later, the magazine announced the single release of a version by Little Richard.Although Ballard's and Richard's versions both appeared in the lower reaches of the "Billboard" charts, Harrison's was a runaway hit, reaching number one in both the R&B and pop charts, where it remained for seven weeks, and became one of the top selling records of 1959.It was also the final number one single in the U.S. to be released on a 78 record.
