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

"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?

I had a friend back in the day who used to say "a hole is a hole" - this was his philosophy on dating. Not choosy. One time when we were in public, around some older ladies, he wanted to say it, but refrained. Instead he said, "You remember that old song 'Que sera sera, whatever will be will be'? I want to say something kinda like that." And from that day forward, instead of saying "a hole is a hole" he would sing "que sera sera ...."

If I had a friend who said that, I'd never repeat it to anyone.

I never said it where it wasn’t an obvious joke.
“Any port in a storm.” Was another version of that phrase.

I may have some concern as to what my friend considered holes.

Would this be called "This Week in 1950" on my app. I would listen. Tommy Edwards "It's All in the Game" is a great song

1 good song from 1958:
02 02 BOBBY DAY - ROCK-IN ROBIN
Heard it from "Stand By Me" movie I think.

Jiles Perry Richardson Jr. released two singles, Beggar To A King (October 16 1957) and Monkey Song (You Made A Monkey Out Of Me) (May 23 1958) as Jape Richardson. They failed to chart. (Maybe he didn't know the meaning of the word "jape.") Then he wrote and recorded Chantilly Lace and released it as The Big Bopper. It peaked at #6 on the November 3 1958 Billboard Hot 100.
Jerry Lee Lewis's remake of Chantilly Lace was certainly not country – but it topped the country chart for three weeks in April-May 1972 and reached #43 on the Hot 100. The uncredited background singers are Joe Babcock, Dolores Edgen, Millie Kirkham, Ricky Page, Hurshel Wiginton and Trish Williams. This was recorded in a single take.

Tommy Edwards' original version of It's All In The Game, written in 1912 by Carl Sigman (words) and Vice President Charles Dawes (music), peaked at #18 on Billboard's September 15 1951 Most Played By Disc Jockeys chart. (Tony Bennett's Because Of You was number one.) The 1958 version is much better. Obviously. It was number one for six weeks in September-October 1958.
