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.
