...1954, Slim Whitman graba "Cattle call"



Tex Ritter



LeAnn Rimes con Eddy Arnold



Don Edwards




The cattle are prowlin'
the coyotes are howlin'
way out where the doggies roam
where spurs are a jinglin'
and the cowboy is singing
his lonesome cattle call
he rides in the sun
til his days work is done
and he rounds up the cattle each fall
singing his cattle call
for hours he would ride
on the range far and wide
when the night wind blows up and slow
his heart is a feather
in all kinds of weather
he sings his cattle call
He's browned as a fairy
from ridin' the prairie
and he sings with an western drawl
singing his cattle call

(Tex Owens)

...1961, Little Jimmy Dickens graba "The violet and a rose"



Jean Shepard



Pam Tillis y Dolly Parton



Porter Wagoner y Norma Jean




A violet fell in love with a rose
and started it flashing from it's head to it's toe
then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
a new love was born and the violet turned blue
Roses are red violets are blue
i'm sending red, red roses to you
if you care to send some flowers to me
then send me some violets, i'm blue as can be
i wanted my love to bouquet with you
and just like the rose you've proven untrue
a flower that's wild they way has no home
and just like the violet i'm left all alone
Roses are red violets are blue
i'm sending red, red roses to you
if you care to send some flowers to me
then send me some violets, i'm blue as can be

(Bud Auge, Jon Renfield, Mel Tillis)

...1961, RCA realiza "Can't help falling in love" de Elvis




Wise men say only fools rush in
but i can't help falling in love with you
shall i stay
would it be a sin
if i can't help falling in love with you
like a river flows surely to the sea
darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for i can't help falling in love with you
like a river flows surely to the sea
darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for i can't help falling in love with you
for i can't help falling in love with you

(Otis Blackwell, Elvis Presley)

Hay que reconocer que este hombre tenía una voz muy especial...

Pues justo hoy Jean Shepard cumple 78 años, sólo recordar que su primer éxito fue "A Dear John Letter", en dueto con Ferlin Husky (que nos dejó hace poco) en 1953, fue la primera grabación de un artista tras la segunda guerra mundial en vender más de un millón de copias.

...1954, Justin Tubby y Goldie Hill graban "Sure fire kisses"
