Yesterday Jo Stafford died, in 1952 she had a huge hit in England with this song, I was 18, working at my first job and I thought it was a wonderful song. It was Stafford's greatest hit, topping the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom (the first song by a female singer to top the UK chart). It first entered the chart on August 1, 1952 and remained there for 24 weeks.[2]
It was covered by Bob Dylan for the the 1994 movie Natural Born Killers. A version by Jason Wade was part of the soundtrack to the 2001 animated film Shrek. Rocker Tori Amos also sang the classic for the Julia Roberts film Mona Lisa Smile in 2003. Most recently, actress Rose McGowan sang it on the soundtrack for the Planet Terror segment of the 2007 movie Grindhouse.
