That would be Conway Twitty,Malc. (Unless you were born in the late seventies when a boy band, whose name escapes me, had a hit with it)

Mine was Do Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann and OH's "Return to sender " Oh how I wish but his Mum doesn't want him back :-)

This isn´t fair I want to play as well!

I remember singing Buttons and Bows with the radio when I was two. Does that count?

Not a 70's one hit wonder then. Can't find the name of the group anywhere.

"It's Only Make Believe" is the name of a song written by Jack Nance and Conway Twitty. Twitty released it as a single in 1958. The single performed well, topping both U.S. and British national charts, and to date it remains Twitty's only number one single on the pop charts of either country.

The song's lyrics describe the thoughts and feelings of a man in love with a woman who does not seem to be in love with him. He hopes and prays that, at some point in time, the woman will be able to return his love, but laments that, at present, "it's only make believe."

The co-author of the song, Jack Nance, is not the same person as John Marvin Nance, an actor also known as Jack Nance. The co-author was a drummer, trumpet player and singer, who worked with Conway in Arkansas as a teenager. Later in his career Jack toured with Germain Jackson.
