Ronnie Gaylord and Burt Bonaldie made up the singing duo of The Gaylords, a popular lounge pop act back in the 50's. Here is their American Hits, sung in Italian. In Yakety Yak, instead of "don't talk back" it's "shut upa you face" (long before the novelty number in the 70's).
MP3:
01 Yakety Yak (1:52)
02 Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini (2:20)
03 Witch Doctor (2:16)
04 All Shook Up (1:51)
05 Oh Lonesome Me (2:32)
06 Blueberry Hill (2:19)

Also, I added a great little rock'n'roll number by The Gaylords from my 45 collection called "Ma Ma Ma Marie".

Jeez, I saw this at a yardsale this past summer, and passed on it. Now I feel like an idiot.

To whom it may concern:
If you can possibly get this message to Burt Bonaldie, I would be most appreciative. He and my family have been distant friends for a lot of years. I kept in touch with him when I lived in MI and had his personal home phone number. In the move, (9 months ago), I misplaced the number. I would really like him to contact me and catch up on the latest! Please give him my number. We (myself,my daughter, and my grandaughter) are now living in Los Angeles--a lot closer to Reno now! It's always nice to keep in touch with beautiful people like him.
Thank you,
Debra Rambo
