1955 HITS ARCHIVE: Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White - Alan Dale

Dick Jacobs

This top-15 charted vocal version of the Perez Prado hit joined Dale’s “Sweet and Gentle” (1955) and “Heart Of My Heart” (1953-54, with Don Cornell & Johnny Desmond) as one of his three most successful single releases of the 1950s.

Several years prior to this French tune’s 1955 emergence as a major hit, Mack David had composed the lyrics to “Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White” and it was recorded by the Jimmy Dorsey band...a 1951 track also available on this channel.
