  • JUST MISSED!!! "Ivory Tower" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 21 weeks in the Top 100 in 1956. There were two other versions in 1956 that charted higher than The Charms version; Cathy Carr's version peaked at No. 2 {for 2 weeks} and Gale Storm reached No. 6 with her version. My opinion; The Charms the best!!! 

  • I didn't know this song but so nice!

  • This hit by Otis Williams and The Charms hit #11 on the Top 40 charts and #5 on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It would finish at #64 for the year, 1956.

  • well folks, here's some history. I believe this song was written by (Bob) Wright and (Chet)Forrest for the broadway show Kismet.

  • I still play this song frequently. It was definitely the best version of "Ivory Tower". I've burned all my old favorites on CDs to listen to in my car.

  • Love it. My boyfriend dedicated it to me on the radio when I was 13 yrs old. I wonder where he is now? Edward Bolton, are you out there somewhere? Those were the best yrs. anybody could have been fortunate enough to grow up in. Sweet memories. :)

  • Otis Williams and His Charms (not The Charms) were arguably the finest Doo-Wop group to come out of Cincinnati. But Cincy is also famous for having given us the all-time classic group "TheStudents" Ivory Tower is a great song. But buy Otis Williams and His Charms "Greatest" CD and get ready to enjoy some great Doo-Wop, including one of my all-time favorites, Two Hearts, Two Kisses

  • @MrMaxxmo yes Otis Williams and the Distants later became the Temptations you can google Otis Williams and the Charms, The one that's with the temptations is from Texas and later moved to Detroit

  • @philadelphiaman  That was Otis Williams & the Distants...

  • @smiley66goodvibes67 That's what Brian said last night on Nightline. Sang it in his bedroom.
