The Four Lads recorded it in June 1955 for Columbia Records as the B side to the single 'Dream On, My Love.'

The song was originally written by Robert Allen and Al Stillman for Perry Como but was turned down by Como's management. 'Moments to Remember' is a 1955 popular song about nostalgia recorded by Canadian quartet The Four Lads.
