Bei Alleycat68 (links klicken) steht folgende Bemerkung:
Zitat
Bemerkung: His first record and his rarest, before he recorded "Tell Laura I Love Her" that's start up 1960 in the Top 10 !
Da dürfte offenbar einiges verwechselt worden sein, den "The Wonder Of You" war bereits die siebente Single von Ray Peterson, wie man bei obiger Disco leicht nachvollziehen kann. Allerdings war es die erste Single, die die Hot 100 der Charts erreichte.
