How weird it sounds like a Doris Day B-side from 1952. Strangely outdated and uncharacteristic of Joni and her usual nightclub/torch music.

>Cooke cut "You Send Me" on Keen Records and it was released in October '57--the song was credited to his brother although he'd written it himself, this was done to prevent the label from cheating him out of royalties. The record shot to the Billboard Top 10 and sold 3 million copies. This was totally unexpected for an indie R&B record and there was more--Teresa Brewer knocked out a quickie cover version but it stalled out at #15 in spite of being a major label release from an established white pop singer.

>Cooke was put on the map overnight and would continue recording for Keen until getting a contract with RCA in 1960.

>>126785146
Teresa's cover (which as it were happened to be her last-ever Top 20 hit) was a good one as it went but just wasn't the original, which was one of those songs where the original was so perfect that no cover could have added anything to it.

Georgia covers the old country standard. She delivers a very solid performance but it only went to #92 on the Billboard. Which is too bad considering her two semi-notorious R&B covers that made the top 10 and the singing wasn't as good on those.

>>126786289
I didn't link that song because it's really pretty depressing and I don't like it much. This was one of her other '57 hits and is more cheery.

Here's a '57 Wanda record but it's a slower country number not a rocker.

Since someone mentioned Perry Como, here's a really swingin' song for a guy known for being a crooner:

Jukebox Baby (1956)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ28VM3zO3I

I like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams too.

Sorry but I haven't found a specific song in 1957, yet!

Oh I give up! I got close to 1957 but can't quite hit it.

>>126786526
what's quite sad is that he had the most rocking version of Ko Ko Mo.

>>126786498
If used as a source Discogs is a bit deceptive because it lists when a record was recorded not necessarily released. for example Eydie Gorme had two charting hits in 57 with I'll Take Romance and Your Kisses Kill Me, yet these appear to all be from one batch of singles recorded in 56 that ABC slowly released over several months.

>>126786249
compared to her 40s output this is really quite embarrassing and worthy of Mitch Miller even though she ironically left Columbia years earlier to not have to sing his stuff

there's this hick dude i know in west virginia and he's crazy man. hasil adkins gotta be the craziest son of a bitch i ever met. he don't got the money to put any of his tunes on wax but i've heard em. crazy good!

>>126784913
Bongs loved Guy Mitchell for some reason and in his later years he did most of his live performances there. This particular song has a music hall vibe which is probably why it was a hit there.

>>126785433
she did have a very capable voice and had some good records but only her shitty ones seemed to actually chart

>>126783878 (OP)
Man, Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly are so talented. I can't wait to see what they do next.

>>126785146
One of the most important hits of the 50s and influenced the next 2-3 generations. Brewer's cover version doesn't really match up, it's a bit cuter as you'd maybe expect sung by a female and lacks the broad machismo of the original. However we all know Nicolette Larson had the worst version of "You Send Me" bar none.

>>126785009
Patti Page was the darling of radio programmers in the 50s so there was no pushing her off the Billboard at this point.

>>126786207
I find it more entertaining how her Blue Starr LP from this year had the most awful yet at the same time funny rendition of "I Really Don't Want To Know" on it.

>>126784550
>>126784810
Both groups had an off 57 and would rebound with a mega hit early the next year.

>>126784588
I'm positive the other people on the cover are some relatives of hers (nieces?) because they all resemble her.

>>126784756
There's about 150 different groups with The Four in their name.

>>126784694
The best of the three versions of this song.

>>126784604
Yeah the Four Lads really do suck. They were apparently originally a group who provided backing vocals for other people's records at Columbia until Mitch Miller offered to make them an act in their own right.

>>126784249
she wouldn't go anywhere until early next year

>>126784488
Chappell Roan should cover this one.

Rosemary Clooney performing this song on TV abt. a year earlier. She doesn't come close to Sinatra, but then who did?

>>126787275
i'm surprised she found any time for TV appearances since she spent most of the late 50s pregnant or recovering from pregnancy.

>>126784249
Good song and she sings it well but not hooky enough for the radio I guess.

>so he proposes sex and she got unnerved and told him no but he wasn't taking no for an answer so he just had his way with her
>she was not happy about that but never told her parents because it was the 50s and they would have slut shamed her and acted like it was her fault
