Ray’s Forgotten Singles for Easter Monday 13 April 2009

Tease for 3pm
The B-side to this artist’s seventh million seller was his eleventh, which suggests a slow build. This B-side charted one week after the A-side, (when it made US#1) and was a cover of an Inkspots 1941 recording. US#58, 7 weeks in Top 100 from 13 April 1957.

Tease for 5pm
US#6, 16 weeks in the USA bestsellers from 14 April 1958. The only million-seller by this husband and wife duo. They became a singing team in nightclubs, hotels, on TV and records, had their own radio show on CBS for two years and on ABC for two years. HUGE HIT in N.Z.

And the songs;
3pm, Elvis Presley – That’s When The Heartaches Begin
5pm, Art & Dotty Toddy – Chanson D’Amour
