Billy Williams - Nola (1959) - Video
PUBLISHED:  Dec 27, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
Charted at #39 on Billboard Hot 100 in January 1959. You don't often hear a vocal version of this song. This was Billy's penultimate chart entry, the last being "Goodnight, Irene" (#75 in April 1959). It was a #3 hit for Vincent Lopez and His Orchestra in July 1922 (I've also posted this version). Also #9 for Les Paul in June 1950 (which I've posted too), Original Billboard review: "An ingratiating chanting stint by Williams marks this updated version of the evergreen. The lyrics are cute and the artist is at his best. Spins should please."

Written by Felix Arndt and Sunny Skylar.

B-side is "Tied to the Strings of Your Heart".
