[Jukebox-list] Another haunted jukebox, Years Ago...

[S.R. Boland]

"If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry" might have been the
last POP hit that Jerry Wallace had, but he had
country hits after that.

"If You Leave Me Tonight" did only make it to #38 on
the pop charts, but it was #1 on the C&W charts.
