The Original Recording<\/h1>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In 1956 as rock n roll was just beginning Sonny&#8217;s multi-million selling Young Love exploded on the scene and became a simultaneous #1 country and pop hit &#8211; the first such traditional country cross-over of it&#8217;s kind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The recording by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sonny_James\">Sonny James<\/a> was released by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Capitol_Records\">Capitol Records<\/a> as catalog number 3602. It first reached the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_(magazine)\">Billboard<\/a><\/em> chart on January 5, 1957. On the Disk Jockey chart, it peaked at No. 1; on the Best Seller chart, at No. 2; on the Juke Box chart, at No. 4; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached No. 2. On <em>Billboard&#8217;<\/em>s country music charts, it was a No. 1 hit for nine weeks, and remained the longest-reigning of James&#8217; 23 chart-topping songs on the chart. <em>Billboard<\/em> ranked it as the No. 8 song of the year for 1957.<\/p>\n<p>The recording was produced by Ken Nelson and was recorded October 30, 1956 at Bradley Studio in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nashville,_Tennessee\">Nashville, Tennessee<\/a>. The vocal backing was provided by Harlan Powell, one of Sonny&#8217;s band members at the time, Gordon Stoker and one other individual. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jordanaires\">Jordanaires<\/a> backed Sonny James on several songs in the late 50&#8217;s and on a few of his songs when he returned to Capitol in 1963, but it was the vocal sounds of The Southern Gentlemen, who joined him in August 1964, that provided his vocal background thru 1971.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A-side_and_B-side\">flip side<\/a> of James&#8217; version of &#8220;Young Love&#8221; was a song called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/That%27s_Why_I_Love_You_Like_I_Do\">You&#8217;re the Reason I&#8217;m In Love<\/a>.&#8221; That song was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard country charts in early 1957. In 1971 \u2013 14 years after the original \u2014 James re-recorded that song in a faster-tempoed, horn-heavy rendition as &#8220;That&#8217;s Why I Love You Like I Do&#8221; (the original slower-tempoed song featured an electric guitar solo); the newly recorded, re-titled version was released as a single and reached No. 1 in June 1972.<\/p>\n<div class=\"noLightbox\"><a id=\"69f2ffe50d7ef\" rel=\"wp-video-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ghJu_8feBJ0&#038;rel=0&#038;width=640&#038;height=480\" title=\"\"><div class=\"wpvl_auto_thumb_box_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpvl_auto_thumb_box\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ghJu_8feBJ0\/0.jpg\" class=\"video_lightbox_auto_anchor_image\" alt=\"\" \/><div class=\"wpvl_auto_thumb_play\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonnyjames.com\/hof\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-video-lightbox\/images\/play.png\" class=\"wpvl_playbutton\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a>    <script>\r\n    \/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    jQuery(document).ready(function($){\r\n        $(function(){\r\n            var width = $(window).innerWidth();\r\n            var setwidth = parseFloat(640);\r\n            var ratio = parseFloat(0.75);\r\n            var height = parseFloat(480);\r\n            var link = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ghJu_8feBJ0&amp;rel=0&amp;width=640&amp;height=480';\r\n            if(width < setwidth)\r\n            {\r\n                height = Math.floor(width * 0.75);\r\n                \/\/console.log(\"device width \"+width+\", set width \"+640+\", ratio \"+0.75+\", new height \"+ height);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('width', link, width);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('height', new_url, height);\r\n                $(\"a#69f2ffe50d7ef\").attr('href', new_url);\r\n                \/\/console.log(new_url);\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n    });\r\n    \/* ]]> *\/\r\n    <\/script><\/div>\n<hr style=\"height: 10px; visibility: hidden;\">\n<h3>Tab Hunter<\/h3>\n<p>The recording by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tab_Hunter\">Tab Hunter<\/a> was released by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dot_Records\">Dot Records<\/a> as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Catalog_numbering_systems_for_single_records\">catalog number<\/a> 15533.
