Answer 4

That's not Lorrie Morgan the country singer is it? Cause i didn't think she was around in the fifties. But i'd go with "Fonzie" on it, he knows quite a bit (as i've run across his answers) and he may be an older Gent from that period. LOL!

Answer 5

Bill Haley and the Comets did this song around 1961, but I am not sure whether Bill wrote the song himself or just covered it.

There's also a Rush song by the same title, but that one is way more recent-- 1989-- so that's not the one you mean, in all likelihood.

Lorrie Morgan released her song of the same name in 1994, so that one is out as well.

Answer 6

That would be Lorrie Morgan
