As you have probably heard by now... a _lot_ of people sang / recorded this song. Back in the 50's, you had profession song-writers (who weren't singers of note themselves) who wrote a song, and then a lot of singers would pick up the song if they felt it was likely to be a hit. Even a lot of Elvis songs were written by other people.
Anyway, "You Belong to Me" was written by a lady called Chilton Price (though the songwriting credits are shared with King and Stewart). The original version of the song was recorded by Sue Thompson. The first 'Billboard Hit' version was recorded by Patti Page in 1952.
The biggest hit version of this song was recorded by Jo Stafford. Since then a lot of famous people have covered it, including Dean Martin, Patsy Cline and Bing Crosby.
The song has it's own wiki page. Look it up for more details! :)
Cheers!

It was a Russian folk song and in the 1950's the Limeliters sang it . Lots of other people sang it also.

The original version was by Sue Thompson released in 1952. It was then released by Patti Page, also in 1952.
Jo Stafford then released a version which went to Number One in the UK and the USA, before Dean Martin also released a version.
The Dupress didn't release their version until 1962.

The original version was sung by Jo Stafford in 1952. There was a remake by a male vocal group, the Duprees, in 1962.

Jo Stafford, first, then The Duprees did it, late 50's and had the best hit with it. Their version is so much better and more the doo-wop style of the time. I have both versions. One of my favorite 50's songs!
