Charted at #19 in April 1950. Vocal by Bobby Beers and recitation by John McCormack (not the famous tenor but a fellow who was a disk jockey at the time of this recording). The recitation was used for the first time on this record. Original review as a Billboard Pick: "Side starts in nostalgic fashion as a slow sentimental ballad prettily warbled by Bobby Beers, then develops into a confidential-type recitation by one John McCormack, a disk jockey drafted for the occasion. In all, an effective side, not in bad taste, and likely to register". Originally a #4 hit for Vaughn Deleath in 1927, and #10 for Henry Burr during the same year. Other charted versions over the years: #65 for Jaye P. Morgan in February 1959, #1 for Elvis Presley in November 1960 (also #1 UK, #22 Country, #3 R&B), #14 for Donny Osmond in November 1973 (#31 Adult Contemporary), #46 UK for Elvis Presley in September 1977, #25 UK for Elvis Presley in March 1982 (laughing version), #57 Country for John Schneider and Jill Michaels in 1983, #68 UK for Elvis Presley in August 1991 (live version) and #2 UK for Elvis Presley in February 2005. Al Jolson recorded the song on April 28, 1950, also with the recitation. Written by Lou Handman and Roy Turk. B-side is "Penny Wise and Love Foolish".. + Informações

Here is a very significant version. It was the first to use the spoken narration part, which Elvis Presley copied in 1960. Later in 1950 Al Jolson also did a rendition with the recitation, but did not chart with it. This was a revival of the 1927 original. Blue Barron's was a #19 hit, not available now. Mine is a rare 45 single, and I've done the best to reduce noise. Blue Barron was Harry Friedland of Cleveland USA, and his orchestra had a few hits from the 1930s to 50s. As the label shows, the vocal is by Bobby Beers, and recitation by John McCormick.. + Informações

Charted at #1 in Billboard in January 1949. Original Billboard review: "Has all the earmarks of smash hit written all over its infectious quality". Overall rating given by Billboard: 91 out of 100. Also #1 for Russ Morgan and His Orchestra in February 1949, #3 for Jack Smith and the Clark Sisters in February 1949, #24 for the Three Suns in March 1949, #27 for Primo Scala's Banjo and Accordion Orchestra with the Keynotes in March 1949, #29 for the Ames Brothers in April 1949, #29 for Helen Carroll and the Carolers in April 1949 and #8 for Frankie Carle and His Orchestra in March 1949. Written by Eily Beadell and Nell Tollerton. The other side of this record is "Powder Your Face with Sunshine".. + Informações

Anyone who lived in the New York tri-state area in the 1950s and early 60s will remember the great Jack Lacy. His breezy, casual disc jockey style kept listeners locked down to 1010 WINS Radio for hours on end. He would sell laundry soap with the same smooth flair as he announced the latest hit record. Lacys eighteen year gig with WINS began in 1947 playing out the end of the swing era and transitioning to 50s pop. As the evolving sound of radio turned to rock & roll, his fish out of water personality really gave permission for a maturing audience to enjoy the new beat. WINS began life in 1924, originally named WGBS Radio owned by Gimbels Dept Store. William Randolph Hearst bought the station in 1932, and the name was changed to WINS in 1934 (named after Hearsts International News Service). The frequency was changed to 1010 in 1941. The station was sold in 1946 to Crosley Broadcasting, and sold again in 1953 to Gotham Broadcasting where it became one of the first stations to feature rock & roll. In 1962, Westinghouse Electric purchased WINS in the middle of fierce ratings competition, and as WMCA climbed to the top spot as a top 40s station, this was the beginning of the end for WINS in music broadcasting. On April 19, 1965, WINS became one of the first 24-7 all news stations in the country. 1010 deejay stars like Murray the K, Alan Freed and Jack Lacy are part of that dim memory of an era of innocence in broadcasting; the two post-war decades when music was actually fun .... + Informações
