  • I'minindianaI find it interesting that we have shifted from music like this being all the rage, to "unholy" like literally, the song unholy lol
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 1, 1958, Richard Cannon was a guest on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    Can't find if he performed any songs on this appearance on 'Bandstand', but in 1958 he did release his covered version of "St. Louis Blues", it did not make any of Billboard's national charts...
    The following year, 1959, he released "You'll Never Walk Along" and "Tonight I Am A King".
