Doris Day (Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff)

Doris Day began her career as a big band singer in 1939. Through the
years that followed she made 31 albums and had songs that spent a
total of 460 weeks on the Top 40 charts. Day was also a high ranking
box-office star, making her last film in 1968.

Since retiring from acting and performing, she has continued her work

The instrumental track for "I Get Around" was recorded on April 2 and the vocals
were recorded during a session eight days later on April 10. The finished single
was released on May 11. In July, “ Get Around” became The Beach Boys’ first
number-one song in the United States.

“Ring of Fire” became the biggest hit of Johnny Cash’s career, staying at number
one on the charts for seven weeks. It ranked No. 4 on CMT‘s 100 Greatest Songs
in Country Music in 2003 and is at #87 on Rolling Stone‘s list of The 500 Greatest
Songs of All Time.

The song was certified Gold on January 21, 2010 by the R.I.A.A. and has also
sold over 1.2 million digital downloads.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Roy Orbison’s three sons are all musicians but never
really got to play music with their dad — until now.

Wesley, Roy Jr. and Alex Orbison have helped create a new song by their father
that will appear on the 25th anniversary reissue and expansion of Orbison’s final
album, "Mystery Girl." They found an old vocal track for a song called "The Way
is Love" originally recorded on a boom box and added new instrumentation with
the help of another son of a music legend, co-producer John Carter Cash. The
album will be re-released May 20 with  “Mystery Girl” along with eight previously
unheard songs.

Challenge Records was Gene Autry‘s record label

”Tequila” was the ”B” side of the primary recording "Train to Nowhere”
and was the last tune recorded during a jam session. There were only
three takes, and Danny Flores, who played the trademark “dirty sax”
solo on the recording, also spoke the words “Tequila”. Flores had
written the song as well but, because he was signed to another label, 
it was credited to "Chuck Rio", a name he adopted for the stage.
