The song didn't just hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It stayed there for 10 straight weeks, something no song had ever done before.
When Debby released the song, she wasn’t completely new to the music world. She came from a house full of singers, with her father, Pat Boone, and her grandfather, country legend Red Foley, both having built successful careers in the industry.
Things changed when she was 14. Her dad was heading to Japan for work, and she came along so the family could stick together.
Debby sang alongside her sisters and parents as part of The Boone Family, performing a mix of pop and gospel music. As she got older, the family act began to wind down, and there was growing demand for her to go solo.
“At that point, I had only performed with the family, so I was shocked because we hadn’t talked about me doing anything on my own. But I was pleased when I heard this lovely song and my parents were supportive when I flew to New York to record it.”
What most fans don't realize is that Debby’s recording wasn't the only version made for the project.
It ended up being one of the biggest moments of her career. Debby estimates she's sung it thousands of times since, and her take on it has changed as she has.
Debby said she's grateful for all it's done for her, even if people still call her a "one-hit wonder."
