[1959]
Back in the 90s and 00s I was often tuned into 3MP and Magic 693. 40s, 50s and 60s pop and easy listening. Lovely songs like this all the time on the airwaves. I need a station like these today. Anyway Connie was a good catholic girl of Irish/Italian descent from New York who ended up in Hollywood. She starred in movies and tv, dated Elvis and did this tune. She's still around at the grand old age of 87. The impeccably produced and arranged Sixteen Reasons was a top ten hit in America and Britain in 1960 and it subsequently showed up in David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive.
[1964]
Speaking of easy listening there's a great instrumental version of Sixteen Reasons by Lawrence Welk here on his LP The Golden Millions at 20:19.
