Do you remember Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat song and his Calypsos, and all his wonderful albums? Other song styles popular this year were Pat Boone, Elvis Presley, Guy Mitchell, quartets like the Hi Los, and groups like the Walter Schuman singers. Lawrence Welk's orchestra was a national sensation. Love Me Tender, True Love, and Singing the Blues were some of our favorite love songs. Others that we sang and danced to were: Walking in the Rain, Green Door, Petticoats of Portugal, Moonlight Gambler, Friendly Persuasion, and Blueberry Hill. We are very grateful to our advertirers.
