This hit by Teresa Brewer hit #17 on the Top 40 charts and finished at #99 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. In 1956, a black haired boy from Tupelo, Mississippi hit #1 with Heartbreak Hotel. His name was Elvis Presley and he shot this new sound into the stratosphere.

This was a big radio hit, nestled in amonst the early rock and roll songs. Radio played everything back then, and I liked it all. Thanks for posting this. ♫♥♫

Thanks for posting this high-quality recording. If memory serves me correct Teresa Brewer sang this song on the Mickey Mouse Club Show in the 1950's. This tune is tough to forget. --John

Though I'm a fan of Fats Domino, and though he did this first, I've always preferred Teresa's version of this song. (I get a much better picture in my mind of her sitting on a bale of hay, for one thing). Thanks for posting.
