Teresa Brewer - A Sweet Old-Fashioned Girl

This gal, originally from Toledo, Ohio, was something of a child prodigy touring with the Major Bowes Amateur Hour singing and dancing at the age of 5. She ultimately became a huge jazz and pop vocalist in the 1950's with songs such as this which went to #7 on the pop charts in June of 1956 and stayed there for an astounding four months.

Woo ;] I wasn't expecting the strong delivery in this song. Love it~. I can't believe I've been missing out on this type of music. If I hadn't seen the movie "Girl, Interrupted," which had "The End Of The World" by Skeeter Davis, I really wouldn't have known that I'd enjoy "this type" (oldies? I dunno.) of music so much. B'aw, I love how she changes the "personality" of her voice throughout the whole song.

@LettuceZing You're having what is called an "epiphany" or an awakening of sorts to a world of sound you have never or seldom listened to...enjoy it. Thanks for the comment...Lanny (Nocaro)

I've been hooked on this song ever since hearing it on the tlc police women of broward county commercial

[Nocaro]

It's interesting to me how much great music an entire generation of people have never heard and/or appreciated like this song simply because they have never heard it before or haven't heard it in a long time or they need a VISUAL image to accompany the music in order to "get it" so to speak. You're not the only one who has written me about that commercial which I've never seen.

[pamlovsy2j]

well yeah but i actually listen to songs like this occasionally without having to see it on a commercial.

[Nocaro]

I wasn't speaking of you personally...just making a general observation....thanks for you comments.

[moonandstar232]

lol they play this song in a tlc commerical where these tough police women are handling down criminals!

[LEFTCOASTCHICK]

It's actually a funny promo because they play the song while these strong armed policewomen are wrestling down and arresting suspects. Lol.

This hit by Teresa Brewer hit #7 on the Top 40 charts and #3 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #46 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, shooting this new sound into the stratosphere.
