George Norris - Don't Wake Me Till Its Over
Sangelo Records
1967
Not a bad cover of a song penned and recorded by Willie Nelson which was issued on his first album ("...And then I Wrote", Liberty Records) in 1962.
George Norris had at least another single (on Gateway) produced by Ray Doggett. Listed at discogs
Jerry Lewis
Candelabra Boogie
1954
I had no idea that Jerry Lewis recorded so many songs. This just one among many others available on YT.
From Jerry Lewis - Capitol Collectors Series, liner notes

On May 2,1954, Dean [Martin] and Jerry celebrated their 8th anniversary as a team on a special Colgate Comedy Hour, which featured a sketch recreating that first outing at the 500 Club. They closed the show by getting down on horns and drums and doing some heavy jamming with the Treniers on "Rockin' Is Our Bizness." The next day found Jerry in the studio as a Capitol solo artist for what would be the last time: After a smokin' tenor sax intro, Jerry belted out a fine rendition of “Candelabra Boogie” for posterity. For this brief two-day period, Jerry seemed to be a strong supporter of the imminent rock and roll era. Somehow, Capitol didn't place much faith in this unruly musical trend on Jerry's part and waited nearly eight months before unleashing it on an unsuspecting public on New Year's Eve, 1954.

Little Hank
& The Rhythm Kings
Rhythm & Range 45-101
(Nashville, Tennessee - 1956)
This is jazz star Bennie Ross "Hank" Crawford's first record which he made for a little-known label in Nashville while studying music at Tennessee State University in the mid-fities. The Memphis-bred saxophonist directed the Tenessessee State Collegians jazz band and fronted his own combo during college. Little Hank & The Rhythm Kings played jumping dance music six nights a week at the Subway Lounge in Nashville's Printers Alley. According to Crawford, "Christene" was written, produced and bankrolled by Roy Hall, the hillbilly boogie pianist who wrote "Whole Lot Of Shakin' Going On". Crawford supplies sax and vocal. He left Nashville in early 1958 to join Ray Charles's group, soon becoming Charles's bandleader and eventually signing his own deal with Atlantic Records.
