Original Record of the Year: Crew Cuts - Earth Angel
I didn't want to pick the same artist twice for the Record of the Year. However the Crew Cuts had what I considered to be the best records in 1954 and 1955 respectively
In the 50s though there are still a great chunk of records that I don't know or at the very least am unable to recall from seeing the song title.
The question therefore is have I found a better record? Well yes I have.
New Record of the Year: Ink Spots - Melody Of Love
I'm pretty sure when I was making my choice 10 years ago I didn't know this record. I'd certainly not heard of the Ink Spots.
It's one you have to listen to a few times to get into. I would speculate that Barry White took some inspiration from it, the deep spoken parts at least.
The Ink Spots broke up in 1954 but then there were offshoots from the original group and this was one of those and was their sole UK hit.
