Artist: Red Foley
Author: Henry Stone/Jack Stapp
Label: Decca
Year: 1950
N°1 C&W & US. Actually written by Fred Rose, but he gave it to Henry Stone, who shared his credits with Jack Stapp. That's when the latter first considered starting his own publishing company (Tree Publishing), soon to become a serious contender for Acuff-Rose on the Nashville musical skyline.
Covers:
Bing Crosby [hit US]
Pat Boone [Red Foley's son-in-law]
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks [with Brian Setzer]
