For some Feason unfathomable

which came near the international by rland’s Cole Porter, Now Indiana's Hoagy Carmichael comes forth with “Ivy,” which will probably cinch the beguine honors for the state. “Ivy yy w h en first released several weeks ago, showed promise even theugh the first recordings of it were just so-so. Now with excellent arrangements and recordings by such top- & notchers as Ziggy A : Elman (M-G-M) My. - Carmichael and Woody Herman (Columbia) “Ivy” 1s a cinch to/cling to the hit parade for some time.

popularity. of "Pen the Beguine,”

VICTOR-Reviving one of Miller's bands all time hits, Tex Beneke records “Sunrise Serenade,” with a little more accent on brads and strings than in the Miller version. The second side features Garry Stevens vocals on “Through,” a tune of several seasons past. Louis Armstrong couples “You Don't Learn That in School,” and “1 Believe,” both scattered with between the lines ad libs and hot horn in typical “Satchmo” style. Perry Como creates a listening mood with his nostalgic “When You Were Sweet 16” The reverse is “Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba,” which has nothing to do with Mexican hairless dogs, but ‘is something of a jetpropelled Italian lullaby.

For several days it remained with his last name spelled “Lane.” Then, some fan: apparently called the writer to task and it was revised to “Frankie Laine.” Mel Torme, the husky voiced vocalist whose “Stranger in Town,” and “You Laughed at Me for the Last Time,” vas a top seller, has signed up wiih Musicraft records.
