The sixties version I knew was by Chad and Jeremy.

Meh.  I would not have picked this song for one of the best songs of the mid-century.  Certainly not one of the best Rodgers and Hammerstein songs.

BTW, I too was taught to appreciate classical music from a fairly early age.  I was 6 when my dad bought me my first classical record, Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.  And though I was half joking when I first posted it, there is nothing wrong with Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," it is a nice children's song with a good message about understanding that sometimes what might at first seem like your weakness can actually be your strength, and to not let bullies get you down.
