New Bunch of Forgotten Covers

From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 28 14:41:45 2023

I think I may have featured this already. Mac Wiseman covers Smiley Lewis in 1955 after his labelmate already did a Pop cover of the song.

And there's a very good flip side that would be a remake of an old standard, maybe even a public domain song.

Don Carroll covers Hank Ballard and the Midnighters early 1959.

When I saw that this existed I thought this might have been
among the worst covers of the decade. It's not good, but
nowhere near as bad as I was thinking it would be.

heavenly original

Perhaps the most unlikely cover record of the 50s. The Walter Schumann Group covers the Spaniels in early 1955.
