"Red Roses for a Blue Lady" is a 1948 popular song by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett (alias Roy Brodsky).
It has been recorded by a number of performers.
The song was revived during the winter of 1965 by vocalists Vic Dana and Wayne Newton and instrumentalist Bert Kaempfert, all three versions charting simultaneously: Dana's rendition was the most successful, peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The song is about a man who wishes to give flowers as a gift to the woman he loves after the two have had a disagreement and that said disagreement made her blue (i.e., sad).
He hopes that if his sweetheart accepts his plea for forgiveness, the two will marry and that he will soon return to pick out the florist’s “best white orchid for her wedding gown."
"Hello, Dolly!" is the title song of the popular 1964 musical of the same name.
Louis Armstrong's version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.
The 62-year-old Louis Armstrong became the oldest act to top the US charts when this reached #1.
When Louis Armstrong was asked about his new #1 song, he replied, "It sure feels good to be up there with those Beatles."
The music and lyrics were written by Jerry Herman, who also wrote the scores for many other popular musicals including Mame and La Cage aux Folles.
