On August 6, 1956, Columbia released Marty Robbins' "Singing The Blues". Marty's recording made it to #1 on the Billboard C&W Best Sellers chart for 13 weeks. Fellow Columbia artist Guy Mitchell's version (featuring a whistle solo and background singers) spent ten weeks at number 1 on the pop chart. The greater success of Mitchell's version led Marty to record "A White Sport Coat" with Columbia's pop perfectionist producer Mitch Miller. | GatorRock
