Originally "Young Love" was written and recorded for the first time by Ric Carter. Some time later a new version by Tab Hunter kept the summit of the Global Chart for nine weeks, from February to April 1957. Simultaneously another recording by Sonny James peaked at no.4 globally. In 1973 the song was revived by American teen idol Donny Osmond. His version featured Donny's spoken recitation on the first half of the second verse. Released on July 7, the song reached number one in United Kingdom and Ireland, moreover the Top 10 in Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands.
