VOLUME XVIII -NUMBER 20 FEBRUARY 2, 1957

Marty Robbins and Guy Mitchell happily sing out the number one song in the country.

“Singing The Blues”. Each singer has his own version of it on the Columbia label, and

so successful was this method that they’ve tried it again with their latest disk, "Knee Deep In The Blues”. Moreover, with the new record, each singer seems to have a smash on the other side also. In Guy Mitchell's case, it's “Take Me Back Baby". With Marty Robbins, it’s ‘‘The Same Two Lips”. www.americanradiohistory.com LANE LA ROSA BROTHERS stashu pandowski marianne (she’s not very much good for pretty!) sogno d’oro jeanette
