The Ames Brothers

Charted at #6 Billboard Pop in May 1954. Written by Robert Mellin and Fritz S. Reichel (also known as Crazy Otto). Original Billboard review: "The boys turn to an old-fashioned opus with this nostalgic effort about the man who used to strum the banjo years ago. It's a catchy tune, and the boys sing it warmly with fine support from a chorus and a banjo featured with the orchestra. This side, too, is potent and has a chance to make it. Rated 83 out of 100."

With Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra & Chorus.

B-side is "Man, Man, is for the Woman Made".

I first listened to this on radio in 1954 or 1955 when I was just 7.It made quite an impression on me at that early age. I forgotabout it for decades -- never heard it played again until I Googledit today. What memories that brings back.

Those violins in the background that typified so many vocals in the later '40's and earlier 50's. Absolutely beautiful mix with their vocals. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THESE MEMORY-RECALLING SONGS!

When times were much more carefree and innocent, the real 50's.

@oldmontanaman Go to my profile page on this channel and you will see a list of playlists. The Ames Brothers playlist is the last one in the bunch. If you click on this, your computer should play all the Ames Brothers songs in a row, without you having to click them on.

Always liked their harmonies.....they made a lot of hit records first at Coral then RCA. After the group split, Ed went into acting and played the Indian in the TV show, "Daniel Boone" He resumed recrding and had big hits with "Try To Remember" and "My Cup Runneth Over With Love"...he's still performing actively and the voice is excellent...a nice guy as well.
