    "Mr. Sandman " was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 7 weeks (released near the end of 1954, peaking in 1955). The Chordettes were originally from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Between 1954 - 1961, they charted 14 singles in the Hot 100, 4 in the Top 10 including their only #1.

      ​@@ClaudeJordan-rh4zx It was invented in 1996, but wasn't used to distort vocals in a song until Cher did it in 1998. Perfect example of how blanket statements about how autotune is rubbish are simplistic. Yes there are some artists who cannot sing and use autotune to cover the fact, but people have been distorting vocals using tech forever. There are many great singers today, naturally talented, who use autotune as an instrument in certain songs to achieve a desired effect. That doesn't mean that they can't sing. Again, Cher is a perfect example. No one would argue that Cher cannot sing, but Believe wouldn't be as good of a song if it wasn't for autotune.

Can't remember the name of it, but it starred Robert Mitchum as a U.S. marine stranded on a pacific island which had been taken over by the Japanese. His only companion was a nun. They had to survive in the jungle until the marines returned to retake the island. Not sure who the actress was, maybe Deborah Kerr. In the movie he sings that song. Does anyone remember that one?

    I love how you two are open-minded to the "old" stuff. This was old when I was young and I'm old. If you analyse music from old to now, all generes, you can really see how one builds on and from the other.
    You should try some from the "big band" era. Amber, you'll love all the horns. Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Les Brown and sooo many more. Plus you'll discover "Torch Singers", (lady crooners). Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, (and my mind just went blank). "Mr. Sandman" was an evolution of those styles.

    One reason music from that age has such a different quality is that it was recorded all together. Instruments, voices, etc. all at one time rather than the overdubbing we do today. I've recorded some songs where I've played every instrument and vocals by recording one track at a time and layering them. Completely different type of quality. Less real.

    The music from way back was very simplistic. Just pure vocals and talant. The music of the 40's - 70's is what I grew up with. Big band sound of the 30's and 40's orchestras to back up the
    vocals of the best artists of the times. All of this great instrumentation gone by the wayside with the advent vent of heavy metal bands that just pump out loud sounds they call music. And now it's electronic noise that is the music behind much of today's music.
    More of the old songs please. More Sinatra Dean Martin: Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime ( Live from London). For tHe Good Times ( Live from his tv show),
    Sammy Davis Jr. The Birth of the Blues (Live video ..on a staircase)
    Bang Bang (video from the movie, Robin and the 7 Hoods). I've Gotta Be Me ( live).
    The Mills Brothers ( Live on the Dean Martin Show) Dean joins in singing ...Up a Lazy River...with them. Also see the Mills Bros. Sing Basin Street Blues with the Boston Pops orchestra....there is some surprise instrumentation.
    You won't be sorry to listen to any of these from above.
    Also From the movie Sun Valley Serenade (1941)watch the videos of the Glen Miller Band doing "In The Mood" and Chattanooga Choo Choo.
    That's the Big Band Sound.
