Within a week of each other in April 1958, recordings by Art and Dotty Todd and by the Fontane Sisters with Billy Vaughn's band appeared on the Top 40 Chart. The Todd recording reached number 6, topping the Fontaine Sisters' recording, which hit number 12.
Words and Music by Wayne Shanklin.
The Old Kunnel particularly likes this simple lyric and melody for two reasons. One is because he first heard it by the French chanteuse, Edith Piaf, and anything by La Mome was deeply appreciated by him. The second is that while on assignment to Hollywood, he worked with Mr. Shanklin's sister at an Air Force station there. Of course, he learned more of the music written by Mr. Shanklin among which was "Primrose Lane." Do you remember that one? Well, I know you remember "Jezebel" from the 50s by Frankie Laine. See, you are more familiar with Mr. Shanklin's works than you thought. (grin) I'll bet you can remind me of other popular tunes by him, can't you?

Chanson D'Amour,
Ra da da da da,
Play encore.
Here in my heart
Ra da da da da,
More and more.
Chanson D'Amour,
Ra da da da da,
I adore
Each time I hear
Ra da da da da,
Chanson D'Amour.
