This was produce by none other than George Martin, about 6 years before he met the Beatles. Martin talks about it in his autobiography, All You Need Is Ears
First heard this on my cousin's new hifi radiogram Wow! As a young lad you allowed me to play bass in your club in the 60's which has always me stayed with me You encouraged me and other young people of diverse musical tastes to be free thinking in music and were a great inspiration to all who met you and your dear wife Cloe. You will always be remembered as a gifted gentle man and will be missed but your music and those Three Blind Mice will live on. RIP
What a clever production number, I believe from '56. I would love to have heard Kenton's response to this single...what a powerful close using 23 Deg N 82 Deg W. Thanks Sir Johnny. You certainly gave us a lot to enjoy in your lifetime.
I've got this 45 somewhere in my house!! Forgot how wild it was - I was only 10 when I 'inherited' it from some teenage girls who had 'outgrown' their tunes.
Ace record!

What's that tune by "Finnigan" at 2:01? It's the theme to the Double Top Ten Show (Jimmy Saville)

Its a very clever piece, I think its better than the first one.
