Here's how one of the more memorable instrumentals of the year did in
the 1952 Singles Battle :-
R1
19 Jimmy Forrest - Night Train - United 110
5 The Five Crowns - You're My Inspiration - Rainbow 179
R2
16 Jimmy Forrest - Night Train - United 110
8 The Swallows - Please, Baby, Please - King 4579
R3
13 Willie Mabon - I Don't Know - Chess 1531
13 Jimmy Forrest - Night Train - United 110
The one and only draw in the round!
Adding the votes that each record got in previous rounds gives the Mabon 30 extra votes and the Forrest 35....
WINNER : FORREST
R4

17 Hank Williams - Honky Tonk Blues - MGM 11160
