- Charted at #3 on Billboard's Records Most Played by Disk Jockeys chart in April 1949. Other versions to chart in 1949: #8 for Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians and #21 for John Laurenz. In 1965, "Red Roses" became a hit again when Vic Dana took his remake to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (#2 Adult Contemporary), Bert Kaempfert charted at #11 on the Hot 100 with an instrumental version (also #2 AC) and Wayne Newton charted at #23 Hot 100 (#4 AC). A later remake by Eddy Arnold charted at #60 on the Country chart in 1975.
Original Billboard review: "Trust in Vaughn to deliver untampered melodic and lyrical interpretations of current songs and at the right tempo. This pairing serves as the proof of this trust. Monroe deals out handsome readings of two ditties which have created some interest. Both are done straight and clean ..."
Vocal refrain by Vaughn Monroe and the Moon Men.
Recorded December 15, 1948.
Written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett (aka Roy Brodsky).
B-side is "The Melancholy Minstrel".
Happy Birthday to Vaughn Monroe REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

You're very welcome!
Trilha do - muito bom - filme "Roda Gigante" - 2017. Canção bem regravada pelo cantor Andy Williams. Thanks from Brazil.
It came in the year I was born. 1948
I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
I want some red roses for a blue, blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
Wonder wheel
Vic Dana❣👏
Sounds like from Bioshock.
The comments say it was #3 on Billboard charts. Where are these charts? I've looked, but all I ever find is compiled #1s from before 1955. Where can I obtain accurate and detailed Billboard charts from before 1955?
Look for Joel Whitburn's Billboard books.
Joel Whitburn's books, sadly, will not help. His Billboard Top Pop 100 singles books always start with 1955. His Cash Box Top Pop do too, I'm pretty sure. There are no charts of the 1940s by month that I know of - just Billboard Top 100 by year. Here's a link to 1940s: billboardtop100of.com/336-2. When you click on the 1940 tab, it will open a list of years for 1940-1949. Here's another link that will please you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_number-one_singles_of_the_1940s. Bear in mind that some of the years will only yield the top 30 to the top 80 rather than the top 100. And here's a link to 1946-1949 and later: longboredsurfer.com/charts/. Hope this helps you. You can also get the top 10 of each year on a new set of CDs created by Brandon Hixson. And you can listen to them on UA-cam - possibly without subscribing. Also Warner Time-Life issued a set of CDs for 1940-1949 plus "The War Years".
The Wikipedia article for this song says it peaked at #4 on Billboard. Like Donald Brenner, the only Billboard charts I've found so far cover Top 100 by year, and I have found some that list #1 songs per week per year. This song would not be on any of those. But I did find this link to the top songs on Cash Box for April 23, 1949. It shows the song at #8 that week. cashboxmagazine.com/archives/40s_files/19490423.html
oh wow ha ha missed out on a young love way back then
