An unbelivable version of this song. One of Ray's best records, in my opinion. What is incredible is that it didn't chart nationally in Billboard in the US, although it was a hit in Australia and the UK. At this point, Johnnie's last previous big success on the US charts had been in 1954, but he was to make a major US comeback with "Just Walking in the Rain" later in 1956. It should be mentioned that "Ain't Misbehavin" DID chart in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Charted at #17 on UK Singles chart in April 1956.

Many versions of this song have charted over the years: #2 in the US for Leo Reisman and His Orchestra in 1929, #7 for Louis Armstrong in 1929, #9 for Gene Austin in 1929, #16 for Ruth Etting in 1929, #17 for Fats Waller in 1929, #6 for Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra in 1937, #6 for Dinah Washington on the R&B chart in 1948, #3 in the UK for Tommy Bruce & the Bruisers in May 1960 and #1 on the US Country chart for Hank Williams Jr. in 1986.

Written by Fats Waller, Harry Brooks & Andy Razaf.

B-side is "Walk Along With Kings".

He autographed his record Cry and another for me at Meier&Franks record department and sang those big hits at our high school Franklin in Portland,OR soon after. His records sound as fresh and exciting now as they did then in 1951. Del Forsloff

Haven't heard of Record World either. I thought Billboard and Cash Box were the only national charts. That's interesting.

It was the predecessor publication to "Record World". They each lasted about 18 years. Joel Whitburn is producing a Vendor/World, to be published next month.

I've never even heard of that publication, but I'm glad it charted somewhere.

Actually, it did sneak into the US Top 100, but in Music Vendor.

I think Johnny Ray must go down as the First Stage Showman With his crying gimmick & moving around while singing When every one else before him had Just stood still & sang As to him not charting who knows !!!!!!!!!!! Even the Greatest Rocker Gene Vincent never had a Top Ten Hit Still Loved By Millions of Fans & thanks to You Tube Some beatiful Ballads have been Posted. But highest hit in UK charts was No,15 !!!! Incredible The First & Forever UK TeddyBoy

@ThePeaceableKingdom I can definitely hear the blend of doo-wop, rock and roll, jazz and big band. It really blows me away!

(cont.) and the Stones, Zepplin and FLoyd - but probably not Goodman and Armstrong, much less Ada Jones and Billy Murray. A song stays current through out its paradigm, but few cross over to the next paradigm. Here's an example of a song that tried to, and maybe should have, but didn't just quite...

Hey, that's a great tune; I've never heard it before. It stands with one foot in the doo-wop, rock-n-roll era and one in the preceeding pop era of jazz and swing. I think I could write a dissertation on this song. Pop music paradigms shift every so often; they did in the twenties as jazz standards replaced Stephen Foster, and in the mid fifties with the birth of rock-n-roll (which seems to be over or almost over...) Kids born in '85 have heard Chuck Berry and Little Richard, the Beatles (cont.)
