Did someone from the show hear the melody and buy the rights? Was it a hit in Europe before it was a hit here?

I have since noticed that this same tune - no question, it's the identical melody - appeared on at least three episodes of the "Perry Mason" TV show as background music. In the late spring / early summer of 1965, an instrumental called "A Walk in the Black Forest" by German jazz pianist Horst Jankowski made it to No. It may be too "pop" - oriented and not "rock 'n' roll" - oriented enough for Forgotten Hits and, if so, fine. ![]() >Kent, I have a question that I hope one of your many readers may help with. ![]()
