 A side or not, it's no wonder "Once" was not the popular side, it's so "old-fashioned" even for '51. The radio jocks (announcers) picked the hep side to play and in these days every record store had booths so you could try before you buy and the record cats reported to BB and others what people were asking for. Glen Gray had the '35 hit of "Out In The Cold", went to #4 BB.

The "A" side of this disc is a big ballad, with a robust vocal by the American baritone singer Richard Hayes and a sumptuous orchestration by Joe Reisman. The only problem is, the song isn't good enough to warrant all this effort, and unsurprisingly it failed to chart in America.

The flip side is much better. "Out In The Cold Again" dates back to 1934, and since then it has been recorded by many artists including Dean Martin, Johnnie Ray, Ferlin Husky, Brenda Lee, Kay Starr, and Dinah Washington. It is a superb song with a striking melody and smart lyrics. Richard Hayes is accompanied on the track by a doo-wop style male vocal group; something of a departure in musical style for the balladeer, and it was a no. 9 U.S. hit in late 1951.
