Kaempfert, Rehbein and Sigman were regular songwriters of works sung by Frank Sinatra, with all three writing Sinatra's 1967 hit "The World We Knew (Over and Over)", and Kaempfert having additionally composed his number-one hit "Strangers In The Night" the year prior.[2][3] Sinatra covered the song in his November 1968 album Cycles, his first recorded music since the release of Francis A. & Edward K. ten months prior; the longest period in Sinatra's Reprise years in which he did not commercially record music (barring his contributions to The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas). The single peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of September 28, 1968.[3]
