This is going back a bit. For some reason I can remember a 78 of this recording from 1957. Tommy did not have the first UK Number 1 of this song. This went to Guy Mitchell, only for Tommy's single to replace it one week later.Tommy could have been bigger than Cliff Richard as this country's answer to Elvis, but he went on to become a more all round entertainer, recording "novelty" songs, and later a big star of musicals. Singing the Blues is a reminder of what he could do with an up tempo number, and what we missed when he changed course.
