Oh, so you missed music while I was out toodling about in Florida, huh? You wanted music, huh?
Remember, YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!!!
Welcome to 1955.
The year Elvis broke out (darn those pimples…oh, wrong “breaking out”
) also had pop (annoying pop, think Pat Boone) and doo-wop and country and whatever one of the songs on the list is classified as. (I call it “good,” because that’s what Duke Ellington famously said was one of two classifications of music…the other being “bad.”)
All of this was 70 years ago. What a long, strange trip it’s been (as the Grateful Dead later said).
My parents actually had a Christmas “sing along with Mitch” album, so your teaser is Mitch Miller with his 1955 hit “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”

I love that song!
It reminds me of the fight scene in Giant.

Seems like it’s been around forever (well, it has been…since at least 1850).

I know, it’s like he invaded an Amish grade school.

I like it, too. Elvis later did a medley of this with “The Eyes of Texas” and I love that version so much.
