1955 HITS ARCHIVE: Ballad Of Davy Crockett - Bill Hayes (his original #1 version)
The Ballad Of Davy Crockett (Blackburn-Bruns) by Bill Hayes, orchestra conducted by Archie Bleyer
Contributing significantly to the Davy Crockett marketing craze of ’55, this memorable record hit (#1 best-seller for five weeks) was one of three top-5 versions included in this also Fess Parker and Tennessee Ernie Ford. The song originated with Walt Disney’s wildly popular “Davy Crockett” dramatization, a three-episode Frontier Land segment starring Parker that aired on the new ABC television series “Disneyland” between December 1954 and February 1955.
Note that some CD issues of Hayes’ “Davy Crockett,” including the widely distributed “Your Hit Parade 1955” compilation from Time-Life, substituted a noticeably different take in place of this actual hit version.
THE 1955 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs that made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1955 (some were recorded in 1954).
