Mitch Miller competed with the early years of Rock and Roll and did fairly properly, thank you. This tune was on the charts for 19 weeks and even reached quantity 1 when “Rock Around the Clock” and “Ain’t That a Shame” were also competing for air time. Wonderful that the sheet music for this song featured Johnny Desmond on the cover. Talk about missing the boat!

This was a top tune as I was going into my sophomore year of high school.
this reminds my of George W Bush
3:36 video: Mitch Miller made Don George’s reworking of the song into a popular recording in 1955 that knocked Bill Haley’s “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” from the top of the Best Sellers chart in the US. Miller’s version was featured in the motion picture Giant.

I was three when this came out. My mom and my aunt told me when this came on the radio I made everybody be quiet and listen. I don’t remember doing that, but I do remember this was the first song I ever loved.
this song was #1 on the top ten when my grandma was born
@sheltv100 99 years old! Wow
I am shocked! I never knew that Mitch Miller was alive up until July 2010! He was such a great musician. Mitch RIP.
