Larry Wyse1 8th Apr 2017		This was the very first single to peak at Number 2 in the UK.



Record Collector 3rd Oct 2015		It wasn't until four years later he had a million seller with singing the blues



Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Vacuum is right! Considering this was the type of "pop" music on offer, it's no wonder Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll had such an easy time of it, getting started, in spite of church-led bigotry of the day. Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll virtually had a "walk-up start" because these new-ish genres had no competition. Country & Western was struggling to overcome its "Hillbilly" image in the 1950s and it wasn't until the late 1960s, the 1970s and into the 1980s that Country music was taken seriously, that is until that idiot, Billy Ray Cyrus recorded "Achy-Breaky Heart" and set Country Music back 60 years. No, this Guy Mitchell record showed just how vacuous "Pop" music was through the 1940s and early 1950s. The new technology of vinyl 45rpm was wasted on records like this(this was issued on 45, albeit with a different B-side).



Juke Jules SUBS 1st Oct 2015		In the book Yeah Yeah Yeah, Bob Stanley uses Feet Up (Pat Him On The Po-Po) to epitomise where the popular music industry had settled in the British world of family entertainment, creating a vacuum into which R'n'R would shortly burst He also makes the point that Bob Merrill was then the most popular song writer in the world, at the heart of this wholesome genre
