I hear it regularly on Siriusly Sinatra. I think it was used by one of the soda companies as one of the first endorsement songs for diet soda. Can't remember which one, maybe Tab or Diet Pepsi

Hear what?
Check out the magnificent remake of this by Def Leppard. By the end of the song, I'm laughing out loud.
Release Me, written by Eddie Miller and Robert Yount, was first recorded in 1953 by Jimmy Heap & The Melody Masters and reached #5 on Billboard's Best Sellers country chart in January 1954. A version by Kitty Wells reached #8 in April and a version by Ray Price reached #6 in May, A version by Esther Phillips (real name: Esther Mae Jones), backed by the Anita Kerr Singers, was number one on the R&B chart for three weeks in December 1962 and peaked at #8 on the Hot 100. Engelbert Humperdinck's remake reached #4 on the Hot 100 in May 1967.

I know all but three: Teddy, Angela Jones and Apple Green. Henry Mancini's Mr. Lucky is the title song of a 1959-60 CBS-TV series starring John Vivyan (real name: John Vukayan) as a professional gambler who runs a casino on his yacht anchored three miles off the coast of California. The song peaked at #21 on the May 2 1960 Billboard Hot 100 and reached #20 on the Cash Box Top 100 a week later.
The Mr. Lucky theme song was an instrumental but Mancini did write lyrics for it. It begins:
"They call us lucky, you and I
Lucky girl, lucky guy
When you take my hand or touch my cheek
I know I’m on a lifetime lucky streak
A lucky rainbow lights the sky
When we kiss, when we sigh"

And see Sedaka's Stairway To Heaven
In its day it had fame
But no, it's not the same
As the later song done by Led Zeppelin"
