5. Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White
6. Autumn Leaves
7. Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing
8. The Ballad of Davy Crockett
9. The Yellow Rose of Texas
10. The Wallflower (Dance with Me, Henry)
LOL thanks guys for your interest. Just trying to surmise and test different things from my past surveys.
I was innocently checking things out away from the forum when I discover 7 more people “answered” my dummy survey! LOL
I can ping you if I do indeed start up an actual survey tournament!
Even More From 1955:
Bill Haley-Rock Around The Clock
Chuck Berry-Mabelline
Johnny Cash-Folsom Prison Blues
Platters-Only You
Tennessee Ernie Ford-Sixteen Tons
Carl Perkins-Blue Suede Shoes
Big River, Johnny Cash, 1958.
So much good music.
Anyway, hang around, you may see me start a new fun ‘50s poll.
But, it may still be a while. We’ll see.
Everything from 1955 in my library:
Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock
Bill Haley - See You Later Alligator
Chordettes - Mr Sandman
Chuck Berry - Maybelline
Fats Domino - Aint That A Shame
Frankie Lyman - Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
Little Richard - Tutti Frutti
Maquire Sisters - Sincerely
Platters - Only You
Smiley Lewis - I Hear You Knocking
Stanley Brothers - Angel Band
Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons
This Unchained Melody was NOT the Righteous Brothers. They were still in diapers back then.
Les Baxter it was.
1955 Songs that have been remade many a time.
Band of Gold
Chain Gang
Cry Me A River
I Hear You Knocking
Only You
Thank you. I hope people realize that with the real poll.
They DID use that in the Ghost movie, when he was going to Heaven (after all, the orchestral strings sound much more heavenly than Righteous Bros warbling).
