Mid-Week Nostalgia Song

Starting from this week in March 1956 for the next six weeks, Les Baxter's "The Poor People of Paris" was #1 on the Billboard charts.  This Hackwhacker heard the song constantly from his sick bed, due a case of the measles.  But it's always reminded us of spring, which arrives today.  Here's the song with a montage of magazine covers from the era.  Enjoy.

Mid-Week Song

We're going waaaay back for today's song, back to 1956 when this song reached #1 on Billboard's Top 100 list 55 years ago this week. Light, melodic, and representative of the popular music at the time.
