More live guest appearances. This one from 1958 and the TV Variety show The Big Record, hosted by 50's singing legend Patti Page. This performance is by Billy & Lillie who, when this broadcast was done, were burning up the charts with their debut single, La Dee Dah. Sadly, it would be their only hit single, peaking out at No. 9. Two more follow up singles failed to click and Billy & Lillie slowly faded from the scene. But at the time, La Dee Dah had hit making potential written all over it and they were doin' it live.
Billy & Lillie on The Big Record - June 12, 1958.
Is it just me or does this tune sound a bit like "Love is Strange"?

It's not just you. A lot of that was going on at the time. Still is, in fact.
