    I can't believe after all these years I am first discovering this cover today. The Diamonds cover the Heartbeats in 1956.

    The lead sucks, but the background guys sound pretty good.

    Just noticed a really strange cover that I never knew about. Reviewed in Sep 1956, Les Brown covers Boogaloo on "Talk About A Party." Not on Youtube or the 78 site. Love to hear how bad this thing is.

    Thanks. It's not anywhere near as bad that I feared. It's actually pretty decent. Do you know who is doing the vocal?

    I just looked at the 45. The vocal is by Butch Something, I think it says Butch Stone.

    It is Butch Stone who was long time vocalist with Les Brown since the early 40's (isn't Wikipedia wonderful?)

    Here's his "Talk About A Party" now on YouTube at last

    This one deserved to be forgotten.

    Pete Hanley covers Marty Robbins. Same parent company too, so I guess they thought they could have a country version and a Pop version.

    BTW, I stumbled upon this because I just sold a copy for $8 to a guy in France.

    Hanley's cover came out two months after Marty's original. Here's an earlier cover released only a month later than the original

    Looks like Hanley covered Billy Gray with that dumb opening.
