In 1975, Olivia Newton John released "Please Mr. Please". The single soon became another major hit for the UK born- Australian pop star. In Canada, the disc reached #1. The country / pop track was a crossover success in the USA: #1 Adult Contemporary; #3 Pop and #5 Country. 
Bruce Welch, a member of the rock group The Shadows, co-wrote the song and released the original version. Released in 1974, his interpretation flopped.
