Hernando's Hideaway - 3 versions

The great song Hernando's Hideaway, written by Adler and Ross for the musical Pajama Game in 1953. A cool song like this deserves cool performances, and who better than Johnnie Ray to start.

1) Johnnie Ray - 1954 single with Hey There.
2) Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler, from the album "Boston Tea Party". Hey Arthur, The Ventures also did a good version.
3) The Four Lads - from the 1961 Kapp LP "12 Hits" [not their hits, other people's hits].

Johnnie Ray also recorded new renditions of his songs later, on the pictured CD. Mine is the original.

Ella Fitzgerald has the best version of this song.

I like that too, on her Ella Sings Broadway CD.

Don't you have just Johnny Ray's version? I like his the most. And by the way, I like your channel.

I really like this kind of thing - multiple versions of the same song back-to-back to hear the similarities and differences. I enjoy how the 4 Lads rendition has a rock guitar background with a slightly Twist-inspired beat. And notice that there are elements of the "Addams Family" theme from 6:30 onwards, even though this was recorded a few years before that TV series existed yet.
