After "Walking To New Orleans"'(6) and "My Girl Josephine"(14), this was his biggest smash in the 60's.
Entering the POP-charts on July 24, 1961, it peaked at POS. 15 ("Three Nights A Week"and equalled that POS. but the b-side spent a week less). "Blow" spent 11 weeks on the charts, making it his very last TOP-20 hit.
On the R&B-charts things went even better. It debuted on July 31, 1961 and reached POS. 2(!), making it his very last blockbuster on that chart. It stayed 12 weeks on the charts.
