-
-
Notes: ~
the original RCA Camden release mistakenly credits "To Know You ( Is
To Love You )"
- as a duet with Betty Hutton but, in fact, Perry
sings it with The Fontane Sisters. Hutton recorded
- two songs with Perry
just one year prior to this recording, in September, 1950, the hit single
- "A Bushel and a Peck" and flip side "She's a Lady".
This listing error has continued even to
- the present with release of the
1999 double CD "Greatest Hits" compilation. As a matter of
interest,
- Perry recorded this song for a second time in real stereo for
the 1959 RCA Victor album
- "Como Swings" as an un-credited duet
with his Choral Director Ray Charles. That was the second
- un-credited
performance of Charles on a Como recording, the first being "Kewpie
Doll" as noted above.
