It is based on an iconic 1784 French song, Plaisir d'amour, by Jean-Paul-Égide Martin. The song went on to become one of the century's greatest hits. It was also covered by numerous artists, big and small, including Bob Dylan. The song topped the British charts in 1962.

The song is certified platinum and is widely considered one of the greatest songs. It ranks 403 on Rolling Stones' list of Greatest Songs of All Time.
