I only lasted through 1:13 of this song before I had to hit Pause - the voiceover made me wince.
James MacArthur (1937-2010) was past his in-between years when this song hit the Toronto chart - he was 23. This song didn't reach the US charts, but another song of his, "Ten Commandments of Love", reached #94 on the Billboard chart in 1963. Its voiceover made me wince too - I only got to commandment number three before I gave up.
MacArthur went on to become a stage and television actor. He was best known for playing Danny "Danno" Williams in the television series Hawaii Five-O from 1968 to 1979. He invested his earnings from the show in Hawaiian real estate.
