Single Flip Side: " Door
of Dreams "
Note: ~ Perry first recorded
"Nobody" during album sessions for the RCA Victor
10" LP
"TV FAVORITES" LPM-3013 in March of 1952 but not included within
the set.
The released version recorded in February, 1955, was made during
the album sessions
for Perry's first full length RCA Victor 12"
LP "SO SMOOTH" LPM-1085 but, once again,
not included within the
set. Recorded on the same day as it's flip side "Door of Dreams",
master numbers seem to indicate that there may be several other recordings
or "takes"
on or about the same date. The re-recording of
"Nobody" in 1955 was possibly inspired
by the movie "Seven Little Foys"
released that year.
