[ppfe1]

This song was the #1 song the week I was born in March of 1952 Today was the first time that I can remember anyway ever listening to it, Great song !!

[nickums69]

Great Song ! Thanks for this Upload.. :)

[ShiningOne10]

"While the wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning..." Lovely

[Attila709]

I heard the ending of this on an old Happy Days episode and had to listen to the whole thing. Even someone like me, from the heavy metal era, can appreciate great music like this.

[amd77j]

This song captured my fav part of the film, "LA Confidential'.

[elpasot420]

i played this record when i was a little boy back in Cowgill,Mo...

[JJWiski]

Great song. Elvis named Kay Starr as one of his favorite singers, and now I can see why. Great pipes and interpretive ability, and a great beauty, to boot! Was the lead vocal in the bridge double-tracked? I wouldn't be surprised; Capitol was doing all kinds of neat stuff with Les Paul and Mary Ford at the same time.

[ali04455]

Yeah! L.A. Cinfidential, what a film. what a soundtrack. This and acc en tuate the positive!

[countessyasmin]

Love this song - brings back many memories. Hey dad - I'm listening to your music now, and I love it!!

[anorak64]

Brilliant...They don't make 'em like that no more!

[califinn]

I remember hearing this while watching The Right Stuff. Great song. One of the best from the old school.

[buckinbelm]

i first heard this song in that film let him have it the story about the christopher craig and derek bentley story, britains worst case of misscarriage of justice

[OMEGAROB246]

LA Confidential is freaking amazing =)

[JWARDable]

how such a rare treasure you have ! This is absolutly enjoying . I thank you a lot !

[RainyDaysDownUnder]

I wish I was alive in the '50s and '60s to experience the music, television, fashion, entertainment but instead I'm born into this generation :\

[calebthomas28]

@RainyDaysDownUnder same.

[Katie6512]

When this song was popular...I was11 years and in LOVE with the news boy. This song brings back those memories.

[Wobdifurousness]

I like this. It's full of soul. Kay Starr didn't just sing it; she expressed it with great feeling. She didn't have anything like the studio sound-manufacturing support which modern performers had. In 1952, you needed to actually sing like Kay Starr if you wanted your voice on your record to sound like Kay Starr.

[pryncessleyla]

Before my time but I love this song. What a voice a beautiful voice. Would have loved to have been in this era. Also first heard this in L.A Confidential.

[pryncessleyla]

[pryncessleyla]

Before my time but I love this song. What a voice a beautiful voice.

[Wolf251982]

I remember this from the movie called L.A Confidential. Good Stuff.

[elamite66]

this is a little before my time but I remember reading that some critics (I guess) considered this one of the first Rock'n'Roll songs I don't really seet it but I guess it may have been influenced by early Rock'nRoll or R&B records Or more likely one of the early white mainstream records to be so influenced To me it sounds like it belongs to the 40s as much as the 50s I read that before I ever heard it and I was expecting something different I guess She certainly has a voice and the quality #1

[Slayd5K]

amazing sound on this, thanks for posting!!

[csanowayslut]

beautiful

[KNOEITAL]

[flyby7a]

Here i sit alone

and broken hearted

I tried to S**T

But I only F*RTED

YA RETARDED

[mrjim271]

I am starting to appreciate this music more as I get older.The music of today is so shallow-no respect for women or for themselves, cursing and lewd comments about each other.This women had such a beautiful voice without the computers to enhance the voices of today.I thought I would never say this my Father's music from the 1930's to the Standards of the early fifties was really great.Man I was a real snot nosed kid growing up in the 1970's.

[09georgy]

My mom used to sing this song all the time when I was a tiny tot. Now I'm a big tater and she is suffering with Dementia. I try to stimulate her memory with music. We have always had a love for music in this house. She says she remembers the song, but I can't really tell. She just sits there. No longer sings along. Thanks for posting it.

[recovering16]

@09georgy Thanks for sharing, Georgy. I hope your mom feels better. Sounds like you're doing everything you can to help. Bless you both. Judy

[dianadan90033]

this is a 45 my dad and mom had at home, brings back such good memories...god bless mom and dad !! i've loved this song for a long time!

[1000RustyParts]

Thank you so much for posting. I love watching people's faces when they hear this song for the first time. Their skeptical dirty looks disappear and their eyes go a little glassy. Suckers.

[KimboDiddy]

discovered this song on the L.A. Confidential soundtrack. thank you.

[weewee112211]

Beautiful Song!

[fever972]

Great video for 1952! Also a fantastic song.

[darkmindmelbourne]

great song im 24yrs old and i think its a great song i actually have this song in my music collection.

first time i heard it was when i went to the movies with my nan to see LA confidental. fantastic movie that was dunno how crowe and guy didnt win awards for there preformances in that movie.

[WarioBarker88]

This song was used on the 1952-53 CBS game show entitled "Wheel Of Fortune", hosted by Todd Russell.

Although it has no direct connections to Merv Griffin's show (which began in 1973 as "Shopper's Bazaar"), there are distinct similarities.

Most notable among the connections is the 1959-62 Australian radio/TV adaptation, produced and hosted by Reg Grundy. Grundy later adapted the subsequent "Wheel" versions based on Griffin's show.

[CrisVangel]

wow, great song, and that so looks and sounds like my Newcomb that I use in most of my videos of Doo Wop/Early Rock n Roll 78's and 45's! The only thing is, the raw audio from it hasn't got a lot of highs.. better to use a little bit of EQ if your set up allows you to do so.. plus this player puts out way too much at 400 hz, you might want to take that down about 7 db if you can, to get a flatter frequency response.

Definitely you played one great song here!

[paulostroff99]

One of the greatest of her day!

[garymaher]

Sounds great at this end, must be delicious coming right off the platter. Thanks for taking the time to post it!

[lrh1966]

Incredible clarity and projection from the Vintage Capital Record/Newcomb Phonograph combination!

Together, they provide a clear, focused perspective on Kay Starr's classic hit, a great fitting tribute to this performer!!...Lloyd.

[TheFRiNgEguitars]

charming! sounds great on the Newcomb, and directly fed... thanks for doing such a nice job which adds to listening enjoyment!

[andygin]

Nice, I still have all my 45s but most are scratched as they are all piled up un a box and have seen some action at party's in the 60s 70s 80s. I also have lots of 78s of my Mums from the 50s and my Grandparents from 30s 40s. they are good fun.

[bosoxx44]

Thanks Nick....I remember this when it was first released. Bockmarked it.

Cheers mate

[DrHoldowicz]

Great quality sound ! Thanks for the opportunity to hear a contemporary recording !

[philly452009]

Believe it or not one of her biggest fans was Elvis Presley

[travis7310]

I have a CD with this song! I love it! I almost forgot about it! Thanks!

[CrazyBoutThe50s]

lovely classic!

[LeothePatrioticLion]

Terrific song. I wonder if Merv Griffin ever considered using this when he came up with Wheel of Fortune (as we know it today).

[YATES001]

i LOVE this song

[Sizzletube]

I remember listening to this as a child.ear flat against the speaker of the gramophone player, wonderful memories

and wow what a voice, will be coming back for more

love is all trevor sizzle

[stag3800]

Wheel of fortune was the first record that Derek Bentley bought. Sadly he was later hanged at Wandsworth Prison on 28 January, 1953 for the murder of PC Sydney Miles. Derek denied being responsible to this murder. Christopher Craig fired the fatal shot. Derek Bentley`s conviction for murder was quashed by the Court of Appeal in 1998. Rest in Peace Derek Bentley and also Sydney Miles.

[motorcitymiguel]

Wow,,,,What a voice...

[victorcornet]

I loved the use of this in LA Confidential.

[gawjusgurlLayla]

i love this song n im only 16!! only know it off the film let him have it! gr8 film, gr8 song xx love it xx

[MOAIC21]

Late 1952 finished radio operator school at Keesler AFB 4 of us were outside of Tuscaloosa,Alabama when we hit a turkey buzzard in the early morning. While we were getting windshield fixed we had breakfast in a little diner. I played the juke box for 5cents a song except Kay Starr "Wheel Of Fortune" was 10cents.Funny how the memories come back.

[migroja]

OHH Great sound....

[dadoo1617]

[ecrira4u]

Thanks so much for putting this song up! I was on a hunt for it and finally found it after wading through the game show listings. I love this song!

[alexnitu]

great song !!!

[hpoo3]

Love this song, great chorus. Just want to keep singing it, thanks

[stevenmark87]

Truly amazing song, I first heard this in the film L.A. Confidential. Thank you for posting this.

[PhillySouth]

I wish people knew about some of Kay Starr's other top notch songs, particularly "What A Difference A Day Made" that she recorded with the Charlie Barnet Orchestra (big band) back in 1944. My other favorites are "Side by Side", which my mother loved, and 1950's "Bonaparte's Retreat".

[garfieldcat5]

Me too!

[GruppeB]

@garfieldcat5

Same here! and that scene with the two broads dancing together at the party was stunning...
