Plan on the majority of the blog posts for the next two months dedicated to these songs, which have perpetually been stuck in my head since we started rehearsals two weeks ago.
First from a few weeks ago is "Crazy Bout Ya Baby" which was first made popular by the Crew Cuts in 1954:
Next, is a song I learned from the same production, is called "Undecided" and I'm gonna be lazy and copy what it says about the song on Wikipedia-
Recordings[edit]
The first recording was made by John Kirby and The Onyx Club Boys on October 28, 1938, and released by Decca Records as catalog number 2216,[1] with the flip side "From A Flat to C".[2]
It was also recorded by Chick Webb and his Orchestra with vocal by Ella Fitzgerald on February 17, 1939 and released by Decca Records as catalog number 2323, with the flip side "In the Groove at the Grove".[2]
The biggest hit version was recorded by The Ames Brothers with Les Brown's orchestra on June 25, 1951 and released by Coral Records as catalog number 60566, with the flip side "Sentimental Journey".[3] It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on September 28, 1951 and lasted 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at #6.[4] A bebop treatment of the song was released in the same year by Gene Ammons.[5]Billy May recorded the song as part of his 1955 album Arthur Murray Cha Cha Mambos.
In 1960 Harry James released a version on his album Harry James...Today. (MGM E-3848)
Natalie Cole recorded the song for her 1993 album Take a Look.
Wow, that was easy to copy and paste. Don't sue me, Wikipedia
Oh, and here's the song, the version I chose is from the era of Forever Plaid, 1950's.
A Hug.
