    This was a surprise winner for me both in March and now. It was nominated as a quick backup after the Larks 'Little Side Car' was ineligible.

    The song is actually recorded by the 'Rock and Roll Trio' in the same July 56 session as 'Train Kept A Rollin', and released in '57 after Dorsey left as the B side of Johnny's first record without the trio.

    It was eligible after losing Round 1 of the 57 battle to the Diamonds' 'Stroll' 18-12. I wonder if that result would repeat with this set of voters.

    It was first released on the group's 1956 album.

    What the hell, Bruce? I go to Illinois for 2 days and you forget how to
    spell your own name?

    The minute I saw it I said to myself "This record is going to win the contest." And deservedly so. Believe it or not, if my record had
    beaten it I would have been disappointed. Well...a little bit
    disappointed, anyhow.
