sixtiesmusicfanatic 13th Feb 2020		Review The " A " side of this 1942 record , " Conchita " , is an engaging novelty song with tongue-twisting lyrics , which was featured in the film " Priorities On Parade ". It is a tuneful number set to a rhythmic arrangement , and the American mixed-gender vocal group the Marshalls deliver it with gusto , displaying their impressive harmonies and counter-harmonies. The song was recorded by various other artists, including Glen Miller , Bing Crosby , Dinah Shore , and the King Sisters , but , perhaps surprisingly , none of the versions entered the American charts. I prefer the flip side. " My Devotion " is a charming and melodic ballad , a typical example of a war-time song with lyrics conveying the loneliness resulting from separations. The Marshalls' smooth choral version enhances the song , but unfortunately it bombed. It was a U.S. hit in 1942 for several acts , including Jimmy Dorsey , Vaughan Monroe , and the King Sisters , but Charlie Spivak fared best , reaching no. 2. My favorite version is by Tab Hunter , but his 1961 take on the song flopped. 26 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
