Completely unreferenced article about a song. This literally just states that the song exists, the end, and cites absolutely no sources at all -- but the mere fact that a song charted somewhere is not in and of itself an instant notability freebie that exempts a song from actually having to have any sourcing to support any substantive content about it, so this as written is not enough all by itself.
Obviously I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with much better access to archived US media coverage from the 1960s than I've got can find enough sourcing to salvage it -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have any sourcing.

Redirect to Faron Young - I cannot find any evidence of independent notability, but a redirect would be appropriate since the song clearly exists and charted. —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
