This rockin' treatment of the early 1930's tune was Tony's most successful single during the year 1955, peaking at #18 on both the U.S. (Cash Box) and UK charts. Bearing little resemblance to his commonly accessible 1961 ballad remake, this arrangement from early '55 (complete with wailin' sax break) was plainly inspired by the then-popular Fontane Sisters hit "Hearts Of Stone."

Thanks for this, one of my teen-years favorites. Does anyone have Tony's "Cinnamon Sender"? (Maybe it WASN'T Tony, which might be why I can't find it, lol.)
