This was popular in Los Angeles in the summer of 1952... I was headed to the 7th grade that summer and this version played everywhere and I recall it clearly.

On this day in 1952 {May 17th} "Blue Tango" by Leroy Anderson peaked at #1 {for 5 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers chart and spent 38 weeks on the Top 100 Three other versions also charted in 1952; Hugo Winterhalter {#8}, Guy Lombardo {#16}, & Lex Baxter {#22}... And in 1960 the Bill Black's Combo covered it, their version reached #16 on the Top 100 RIP Mr. Anderson {1908-1975}, Mr. Winterhalter {1909-1973, Mr. Lombardo {1902-1977}, Mr. Baxter {1922-1996}, & Mr. Black {1926-1965}

In 1959 I requested the orchestra playing at the Taj mahal hotl Bombay to play this and they did. I never tire of this beautiful melody. They dont make them like this anymore. Mores the Pity So many young folk missing out
