I was 9 when this came out. I loved it so much I would go and stand in front of the radio and just stare at it I was so entranced by the song. The only other songs I remember doing that to are by the Sons Of The Pioneers. Blue Water and Tumbling Tumbleweeds.
Some of the instrumental that doesn't sound like big band almost sounds like ragtime. Thanks for posting this song. My parents used to go around the house singing it all the time. It was always on the oldies station too and we never knew who sang it until now.
@HappyCyberGuy7 You're welcome! Teresa's original 1950 hit recording of this song (which I also have posted) was with a Dixieland band, so they wanted to recreate that feel with this re-recording. It's not often that re-recordings are better than originals, but I do feel this 1953 version is the definitive one.
Would love to play the piano like this! Its a great song, love it!
