Single on Epic November 1965: writer credit on label is to Hatch alone.
Arranged and produced by Bob Halley whose discography at BobHalley.com shows that he co-wrote Baby Washington’s masterpiece That’s How Heartaches Are Made, and that’s not all…
This could be confusing: Kenny Chandler also recorded the original version of a different song called Heart (Mann-Weil) in 1963. That Heart – full title Heart ! (I Hear You Beating) – was recorded in Australia by Colin Cook.

Later version
On album The Remains November 1966.
Boston band formed with fellow university students by Barry Tashian after he visited England and experienced 60s Britpop first hand. The Remains moved to New York, appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and Hullabaloo, and toured with The Beatles in ’66, but never had a national hit. Barry Tashian published a book, Ticket To Ride: The Extraordinary Diary of the Beatles’ Last Tour, available through the official Remains website.
See the Remains page at the Ready Steady Go site, which includes an interview with Barry Tashian. See also Diddy Wah Diddy by Running, Jumping, Standing Still.
Not to be confused with The Re-mains, that fine Australian country rock band formed in 2002.
