1955 HITS ARCHIVE: The Shifting Whispering Sands - Billy Vaughn & Ken Nordine (Parts 1 & 2)

The Shifting Whispering Sands (Gilbert-Gilbert) by Billy Vaughn & his Orchestra, narration by Ken Nordine Among the best-remembered recording successes of voice-over talent Ken Nordine (misspelled Nordene on the above label) were his well-regarded “Word Jazz” LPs and this two-sided narration with the Billy Vaughn orchestra and chorus. A #5 hit, it was matched by the Rusty Draper version also included in this collection, as is Vaughn’s million-selling “Melody Of Love” from early in the year. THE 1955 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs that made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1955 (some were recorded in 1954).
