Diane Ray - No Arms Can Ever Hold You (1964)

One of the most adorable records ever, and one of my favourite songs. Released on a single in March 1964. The other side, "Tied Up With Mary" charted locally, but not nationally. Diane's only nationally charting Billboard single was "Please Don't Talk to the Lifeguard" (#31 in September 1963). "No Arms Can Ever Hold You" was originally a hit in 1955, charting at #23 Billboard Pop for Georgie Shaw, #26 for Pat Boone and #67 for the Gaylords, all around the same time. Later, this song charted at #27 for the Bachelors on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1965 (#7 UK, #3 Adult Contemporary) and #93 on the Hot 100 for Bobby Vinton in 1970 (#8 Adult Contemporary). Arranged by Bill Justis. Written by Art Crafer and Jimmy Nebb.
