Who sang The Yellow Rose of Texas

[factor-fiction]

Lots of people I think. Was it Mitch Miller who had a chart hit

It was Mitch Miller who was the famous one in the 50's.

Gene Autry was co-credited with a recorded version that dates back to 1933 - but Mitch Miller had the chart hit.

Thank you all, OH thought Perry Como had recorded it but I diagreed

[Tilly2]

Were you watching 'Pointless' at the time, sibs?

[Psybbo]

You know me too well, Tilly. I was sort of watching but OH was answering everything, pointlessly!

[Tilly2]

How did he do on the Madonna question? I was hopeless. Could only think of Papa Don't Preach. (Don't like Madonna!)

[Psybbo]

He only knew two, Papa don't Preach and Like a Virgin!

[Old_Geezer]

I'd expect, over the years, a great many folk recorded it.

Mitch Miller had the big hit, but my favourite version was by Stan Freberg. Great tribute here:

This one too I thought was great! Also "How High the Moon" with Stan imitating the sound of Les Paul playing guitar was absolutely classic! Media URL: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-cy6276XY0
