'50s Gold playlist

[Madison]

Jo Stafford's You Belong To Me was number one for five weeks in September-October 1952 and spent 17 weeks in the top ten. It has been featured in the movies The Last Picture Show (1971), Tin Men (1987), The Deep Blue Sea (2011), The Nun (2018), The Irishman (2019) and Don't Worry Darling (2022) and in episodes of Fallout, The White Lotus and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

This version by Jersey City quintet The Duprees reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1962.

I was posting about this earlier in the day. The Duprees was the first version of "You Belong to Me" I heard and it was on the Solid Gold Saturday Night Show with Dick Bartley. I have now heard it several times on the 50's Gold Cool Bobby B Doo Wop Show. I still remember that Sold Gold Saturday Night Show. After the Duprees, the next song was "Shake" by the Shadows of Knight. At that time, another first time ever heard for me

(which happens to be sadchild's #1 song)

"What A Wonderful World" is almost #1, top 10 for sure.

I listened to all 3 versions of "You Belong To Me", sounds vaguely familiar. I think I heard it in a movie once, maybe it was playing on a record player or a radio in the scene?

In the 1986 movie Down & Out In Beverly Hills, Barbara Whiteman (played by Bette Midler) sings You Belong To Me to homeless man Jerry Baskin (played by Nick Nolte) right after they....uhh....well, that's not important right now.
