While still in high school, Tillotson was making records and performing on stage; as a student at the University of Florida, he had his own musical variety show on regional television. Following graduation in 1959 with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Communications, he signed with Cadence Records and moved to New York City to pursue his music career. In 1960, he recorded his first hit, a composition entitled "Poetry in Motion" (written by Anthony/Kaufman), that went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and #1 on the UK Singles Chart. A "crossover" artist, several of Tillotson's songs were successful on both the country music charts and pop charts.

Oooo - Oooo - Oooo - Oooo.......
My darlin' I have often thought of things we used to do,
And now I sit and wonder why you're gone and left me blue,
You said you'd never leave me, you said you'd never go,
Oh my darlin', why do I love you so?
Oh my darlin', why do I love you so?
Oooo - Oooo - Oooo - Oooo.......
Is it because you stroked my hair when you were by my side?
Or is it because of the tears you cried when your little puppy died?
You said you'd never leave me, you said you'd never go,
Oh my darlin', why do I love you so?
Oh my darlin', why do I love you so?
Oooo - Oooo - Oooo - Oooo.......
