Johnnie Ray - Look Homeward, Angel / You Don't Owe Me A Thing (1957)
Review
I agree this is one of Johnnie's best but we shouldn't underestimate the effect of Ray Conniff's backing on many recordings around this time.
His "chop guitar" sound (more noticeable on the B side) together with some echo contributed to the hit sound for Johnnie and many others at Columbia.

Randolph Sutton - Is Izzy Azzy Woz? / Mademoiselle Pomme-De-Terre (1929)
Review
This is a clever and very catchy novelty song. Izzy is ill in bed and verses end with:-

" I am Izzy's lawyer and I called around because
I want to know is Izzy worse or Izzy azzy woz"

Great stuff!

Frann Weigle - My Diary Of Broken Dreams / Rockin' Chair (1949)
Review
The US London label shows the artist as: The Multiple Voices of Frann Weigle.
The A side is like the Ink Spots and the flip is like the Mills Bros.
The male vocal group sound would clearly have been created by multi-tracking. For 1949 it's a great effort and very enjoyable.
