  • apple pie started in england /=

  • On this date in 1955 {Feb. 26th} "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" entered Billboard's Best Sellers chart; on March 26th it would peaked at #1 {for 5 weeks} and spent 20 weeks in the Top 100...

    Ranked 6th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 30 Singles of 1955 chart...

    Four other versions charted in 1955; Fess Parker {#5 & the original}, 'Tennessee' Ernie Ford {#5}, Walter Schumann {#14}, and Mac Wiseman {#10 on Billboard's Country chart}

  • ...and I always wanted a coonskin cap 

  • I love it... Reminds of of the old south

  • This song replaced mr. sandman because they were both in Back to the Future. Duh.

  • I dont fully understand how this song replaced mr. sandman at #1 in 1956..

  • How many ears has Davy Crockett?

    Two?

    No, three. A left ear, a right ear and a wild front ear.

    1950s playground lore.

  • USA Music. Apple Pie Coke a Cola Mickey Mouse and Elvis Presley

  • A #1 hit for Bill Hayes on the Top 40 charts. It would finish at #6 for the year 1955. Fess Parker and Tennessee Ernie Ford also finished the year with this hit. It would probably be the only time 3 different artists had the same hit to finish at the end of the year. But the biggest event was July 9. That was the day that Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 with Rock Around the Clock, signifying the start of the Rock Era.

  • I was being scalped by sister mary Judith in the 5th grade as she was pulling the hair out of my head as i was trying to duck her left Hook as this rose to number 1

  • @sunrecords56 You,too?

  • @Alikah1 Me too.

  • Bill Hayes was a frequent performer -- along with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca -- on "Your Show of Shows" in the early days of television. This song topped the national pop music charts for five weeks in 1955, breaking a string of 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 for the McGuire Sisters' "Sincerely."

  • In 1956, I think, we use to sing the song: Born on a table top, in Tenn. the bloodiest mess you ever did see, raised on potato chips and P.O.P.
