Actually Deb finding out was a sinch
I merely googled for "Remember Me" Canadian Charts and inmmediately found:-
http://www.webfitz.com/lyrics/Charts/1962/Ch196207.html
showing that Remember Me was at number 3 in July 1962
and was in fact a bigger hit than "Spin spin"
The previous week's chart is interesting in particular Somerset lad Acker Bilk at number 48
That summer I attended the very last Bealieu (Bewley) Jazz festival in England and saw the Bilk band fighting their way onto
the stage I have a vivid memory of the double bass player using it and its splike as a battering ram to clear a way through
the rioting fans crowding the stage and no doubt using some choice Anglo Saxon language to boot
Incidentally in the CBC archives the Country Howdown video after the demonstrationn of Gord's adroitness at country dancing
there is a very sweet video of Remember Me

I'm the one who ran away and left you all alone
I'm the one who broke your heart and scorned the love I'd known
