Morton now had to. He made an appointment with The Shangri-Las, a girl group that he had seen occur sometimes, that they would sing his song.Now the song yet. About how that came about, do different stories. According to Morton himself he put his car on the way to the studio on the side to put it in twenty minutes on paper. [1]  [2]  In the studio he made with The Shangri-Las and (again according to Morton) the then 15-year-old Billy Joel on piano a demo, which he could be heard to Barry. Who was excited about the song and both Morton as The Shangri-Las were given a contract with Red Bird Records, to which Barry and Greenwich were connected.

It is unclear how the final shot came about and what the demo is used. According to some posts took the demo more than seven minutes. [3]  at the time, it was impossible for a single long. In the final number goes out gradually from the sound after just over two minutes. The result was a song in each case which singer Mary Weiss alternately speaks and sings about her lover, who left is to ' the other side of the sea ' and after two years per letter lets you know that he has someone else, alternated with gloomy sounds of the piano and a little choir of the other girls, which is almost a capella singing, only accompanied by hand clapping and the sound of seagulls and breaking waves.

The plate reached the fifth place in the Billboard Hot 100 and later the 14th in the UK Singles Chart, the charts of the United Kingdom. In the 1970s, the song is re-released a few more times, becoming like back of Leader of the Pack, the biggest hit of the group.

Remember (Walking in the Sand) is also on the first lp by The Shangri-Las, which got the name Leader of the Pack, named after the number. The lp was released in February 1965.

In 1970, Buddah Records released a compilation of American songs from the early 1960s on the market under the title Incense and Oldies. A further version of Remember (Walking in the Sand) without the sound effects. [4]
