It was one of the versions in my library that I rejected;
considering it was Julie London I was very disappointed

founded as a mining town in 1592, named after Louis IX, commonly
revered as Saint Louis, King of France from 1226 until his death in
1270 (a Franciscan mission was established in the zone in 1583).

Here's nine more 60s tracks/remakes by Los Americans:
