It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on September 7, 1951, and lasted 22 weeks on the chart, peaking at #4.

This song should not be confused with "It's a Sin", another popular song of the same era.
Knud Pfeiffer wrote the Danish lyrics. The Danish title is "Er det synd". Raquel Rastenni with Radiodansekorkesteret recorded it in Copenhagen in 1952. The song was released on the 78 rpm record His Master's Voice X 8043.
The song was revived in 1964 by The Duprees, a group that made a number of recordings of 1950s hits.
