Back in 1958, I was an impressionable sophomore in High School and one of the songs I vividly remember was this one from the Chantels titled "Maybe". I wonder how many of you will remember this song from back in that late '50's and early '60's time period... (The video is not the best, but the sound is very good.)
About The Chantels:
"The Chantels (not to be confused with the reggae group The Chantells) were the second African-American girl group to have nationwide success in the United States, preceded by The Bobbettes. The group was established in the early 1950s and attended St. Anthony of Padua school in The Bronx. The original five members consisted of Arlene Smith (lead), Sonia Goring, Rene Minus, Jackie Landry Jackson and Lois Harris. They derived their name from that of a rival school, St. Frances de Chantal." Lyrics.com
LYRICS:
"Maybe" by the Chantels
Maybe, if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And Maybe, if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, maybe
Maybe, if I hold your hand
you will understand
And maybe, if I kissed your lips
I'll be at your command
Oh, maybe
I've cried and prayed to the Lord
To send you back my love
But instead you came to me
Only in my dreams
Maybe if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And maybe if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, maybe
(Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)

I hope you enjoy this FLashback!

Sgt (Join to see) Another home run into memory lane! This song was a good belly rubbing jingle for sure! And not only with the music, but American Grandstand with Dick Clark was always a good watch on our old B&W TV.

Ah yes, the Zenith console with a radio on one side, record player on the other side and a huge 20" B&W in the middle.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Yep except ours was a Grundig Majestic, which could have doubled as a Battleship anchor!

Lyrics
Maybe, if I pray every night
You'll come back to me.
Maybe, if I cry everyday
You'll come bavk to stay.
Ohhhh, maybe...
Maybe, if I hold your hand,
You will understand,
And maybe, if I kissed your lips
You'll be at my command.
Ohhhh, maybe...
I've prayed and prayed
To the Lord
To send you back my love,
But instead youcame to me
Only in My dreams
Maybe if I pray every night,
You'll come back to me.
Maybe If I cry every day,
You'll come back to stay.
Ohhhh, maybe.

You're welcome, my friend... (I did note that you mentioned a number of people who wrote this song, but at least one of them, Enrique Iglesias, was not yet born in 1958, as he was the son of Singer Julio Iglesias, so whatever source was referenced, I believe that source was incorrect.)
