Don't Wake Me Till Its Over

 

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

Candelabra Boogie

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.

Guaglione, original sheet music

American "cover" of Guaglione, a song in Neapolitan dialect, winner of the 1956 "Festival di Napoli". Publisher Fred Raphael were in Italy when he heard the song on the radio and arranged for U.S. rights to it. It's been recorded by everybody, from Dean Martin (as The Man with the Mandolino) in 1956 to Perez Prado. It's became the publisher biggest moneymaker.

For a list of cover versions see SecondHandSongs (this Ricky and Robie version isn't listed)

Ricky is Ricky Vallo a Pittsburgh performer who had some 45s on MGM back in the early fifties. Robie is almost probably Robie Lester
