Jimmy Young, The Man From Laramie.
More importantly, in a chart full of swooners country singers and even Winifred Atwell, it was the start of Rock'n'Roll with Bill Haley, Rock Around The Clock hitting the charts for the first time.

Apparently it was If by Perry Como.
Not a song I was aware of then or now.
By the time I was listening to music on the radio we had the likes of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Freddie and the Dreamers etc
Things got better
