Thornton replied, "I love you like I did when you were sweet sixteen."〔 Bonnie Thornton, a popular vaudeville singer who sang many of her husband's compositions,〔 introduced the song in her act. "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" sold over a million copies of sheet music.〔 Thornton had sold it to two publishers, M. Witmark & Sons and Joseph W. Stern and Co., and it consequently became the subject of a lawsuit.〔
