VetteZ51 28th May 2015		Perry Como - "A" You're Adorable "A" ~ You're Adorable ( The Alphabet Song ) Music by Sidney Lippman and lyrics by Fred Wise and Buddy Kaye, 1948 Aria Music Company / Sony / ATV Tunes LLC ~ ASCAP Orchestra Conducted by Mitchell Ayres With the Fontane Sisters Produced by Charles Grean and J. Burgess Recorded at RCA Victor Studio 2, New York City Recording Time 2:23 Recorded March 01, 1949 ~ Matrix No. D9VB-0218 Take 1 - 1A Single release: RCA-78RPM-20-3381-B Single Release: RCA-45RPM-47-2899 ( 1949 ) Single Flip Side: "When Is Sometime?" US Chart Position No. 1 ( 1 Week ) Chart Debut: April 9, 1949 Subtitled 'The Alphabet Song', this charming love ballad spells the listener through most of the alphabet and finds a fresh way to say 'I love you' with almost every letter along the way. It's exactly the kind of novelty tune Perry Como has always had great success with on jukeboxes and in record shops. Small wonder, since its writers, Buddy Kaye and Sidney Lippman, came by novelty naturally. Kaye started writing music for Popeye cartoons in the movies and later wrote such pop hits as 'Don't Be a Baby, Baby' and 'Full Moon and Empty Arms.' Lippman was the composer of 'My Sugar id so Refined' and 'Chickery Chick'.
