Milton DeLugg actually wrote this one (Frank Loesser created the lyrics), and he intitially featured it on "BROADWAY OPEN HOUSE" [his combo was the "house band"] in the summer of 1950. He later used it as the closing? theme for Herb Shriner's "TWO FOR THE MONEY", as he was also that show's musical director.

By: andjoe23. on 11 Nov 08, 03:51:02
This song is used in a episode of the tv-series Angel. Episode 2 in the second season called? "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been". It's a flashback episode from the 50's, where the main character Angel lives in a hotel in LA. A man in the next room listens to this song on his gramophone. Then he takes a gun and shoots himself, which causes the record to skip on the gramophone. No one reacts to this. It's a very good episode, you should watch it.

I prefer "Please don't leave me" with them (but I like by Fats Domino, too). Unfortunately, I don't have? "I'm in love again" by The Fontane Sisters. Please, has Anybody this record and can post it?

By: ThePeaceableKingdom. on 02 Aug 11, 17:32:32
"Most songs, from the '20's ... up to the 60's would have several different versions by several different artists" I've noticed that. It seems that before the 60's the song was more important than the recorded performance. After the '60s the version on the record becomes definitive and the sheet music isnt. Frank Zappa said that in rock "it's not the notes on the page, it's the timbre"? that matters. Only Pink Floyd can be Pink Floyd. Now kids "cover" a song because they like it...

By: CatsPjamas1. on 02 Aug 11, 16:44:03
'60's would have several different versions by several different artists all competing for the most play and sales. As a matter of personal preference, I'm not one of those people that states that the original is always better, and I enjoy hearing all versions of a song I enjoy. The Fontane Sisters' version of "Adorable" is deifintely my favorite, but? I do like the Drifters version quite a lot too. Both improved quite a lot over the original Colts version, in my opinion.

each other for airtime, covering each other's songs. In effect, the pop versions? of the R&B hits actually helped R&B music become more popular with mainstream audiences. Another thing that needs to be noted, beginning artists in the industry were always the most susceptible to cover versions by established artists for the simple reason that they established ones had an edge on sales because of the fact they were already known. Most songs, from the '20's and earlier, up to the

use pop artists to cover them for a pop audience which they did. So, it only made sense that the music execs would use pop singers to cover popular R&B records of the day for the pop market, because it was not known at the time that the orginal records had interest for mainstream audiences. As this fact became known, and? the original records started to sell better, cover records of R&B hits eventually began to vanish. Also, it should be noted that black artists often competed with

By: CatsPjamas1. on 02 Aug 11, 16:34:33
Cover records were a mainstay in the industry until the '60's. Most often, white artists competed with other white artists for airtime, and it was winner take all. The only reason that so many R&B songs were covered in the mid'50's was, for the first time, R&B music became a prominent and popular genre with more than just R&B audiences, crossing over in the pop market. The same thing was occuring with country music. With country records, the music execs figured they would?

Another one I have on '45. Interesting that it's on Dot Records; I'd forgotten that. Dot Records was making a name for itself by covering R&B songs so they could be played on respectable radio. I had never heard the version by The Colts till this morning. Bless YouTube! But I think my favorite version? is still The Drifters...
