Johnny had been a prolific hit-maker since his first chart appearance in 1957. His last major hit of the ’60s came in April 1964 with She Wears My Ring but follow-up singles charted significantly lower. His popularity continued to decline and sales of his records fell. Johnny’s TV show Sing, Sing, Sing was cancelled in October 1965.
From 1968 onwards O’Keefe devoted most of his time to performing on the burgeoning Australian club and cabaret circuit, and aside from the 1969 live LP Live on the Gold Coast, his only album releases were compilations of past hits.

Lyrics:
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to tell the world she′s mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
