where will i have heard this song..to enable it to go under my radar/censor.
i know it goes right back to my early years because it came out before i was born.
was it a radio theme tune?
where can i have been exposed to this sentimental music?

Your question struck a chord (no pun intended) with me too so I looked the song up on Wikipedia and found these pop culture references, one of which may explain where you first heard it:
Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean sang part of the melody in the fadeout of another song, "Like a Summer Rain" (1966)
In The Simpsons episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Jasper sings this song only by repeating "Theme from A Summer Place" over and over, apparently assuming that these words are the full lyrics.
It was regularly used by the cult 1970s BBC radio sketch comedy show The Burkiss Way to begin its "intermission" sketches.
It is also the theme song of Miami radio station WAQI 710 Radio Mambi's show Marta Flores La Noche y Usted.
The song is both used and referenced in the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oz is asked "what a girl would have to do to impress him." He responds that "it involves a feather boa and the theme from A Summer Place." Much later in the series, in the episode Him, slow-motion shots of a jock who unknowingly casts a love spell over several of the main characters, and their reactions (including those of Willow, who is a Lesbian), are set to the song itself.
The song is playing in the background during a scene in the 2001 remake of "Oceans 11" in which a couple involved in an affair are talking in a restaurant. A major theme of the movie "A Summer Place" is marital infidelity.
The animated TV show Freakazoid! features the "Theme from A Summer Place" as the re-occurring theme for the Relax-O-Vision gag in the episode also called "Relax-O-Vision".

Don't know if this is correct, but Jackie Rae sang "Theme from a summer place" in 1960. Hope this is the answer you need. :-)))

Have you been in a elevator lately? They are notorious for "muzak".
