Wasn't being ginger illegal back then? Surely you would have been in jail so wouldn't have been allowed to purchase this.

What happened before 1952, there was no chart?

Both fine recording artists.

It's not a song I particularly like or performance,(a bit overdone vocally in my view), but I love delving back and listening to these really old songs, I think the arrangements and orchestrations were so limited then that the singer had to be able to really carry the song and so had to have a really good voice.

I buy loads of compilations cd's from the 50s and 60s,there are loads of songs I really like on them too.I am trying to build as much as I can of a history of pop music in cd's covering all decades.
