This hit by George Hamilton IV hit #6 on the Top 40 charts. It was #7 on the Best Sellers in Stores and Disc Jockey charts and #8 on the Most Played in Jukeboxes. It would finish at #59 for the year, 1956. On July 9, 1955, Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 with Rock Around the Clock, signifying the start of the Rock Era. On April 21, 1956, Elvis Presley hit #1 with Heartbreak Hotel, sending this new sound into the stratosphere.

I honestly don't know if I like Manson's version or Hamilton's version better... they're both great!

Am I the only who has noticed how much George Hamilton IV and the late Rick Nelson sounded alike? Listen to Why Don't They Understand and Gee and compare them to Rick's ballads. Uncanny! (Dick Clark's Saturday Night Show was sponsored by Beech Nut Spearmint Gum; "It's Flavorific!") Joe

Anybody remember when this was a big hit on Bandstand? You'd have to be from the Delaware Valley cuz Bandstand was local at the time (late 56/early 57). Dick Clark somehow altered the song to change "Baby Ruth" to "Candy Bar". After all Good & Plenty was his sponsor, and they didn't want promotions for any other candy. For the longest time I tried to get a copy, thinking it was called "Rose & a Candy bar".

If George had the Baby Ruth in his 501 Levi "dungarees", it must have been a mess by the time he handed it to his beauty. Messy bar, great song.
