"You Don't Know Me" is a song written by Cindy Walker based on a title and storyline given to her by Eddy Arnold in 1955. "You Don't Know Me" was first recorded by Arnold that year and released as a single on April 21, 1956 on RCA Victor. The first version of the song to make the Billboard charts was by Jerry Vale in 1956, peaking at #14 on the pop chart. Arnold's version charted two months later, released as an RCA Victor single, 47-6502, backed with "The Rockin' Mockin' Bird", which reached #10 on the Billboard country chart. Cash Box magazine, which combined all best-selling versions at one position, included a version by Carmen McRae that never appeared in the Billboard Top 100 Sides listing.

Brings back memories of Sunday mornings on Long Island ... the therapeutic aroma of garlic and oil at home with Mom making the Sunday sauce and Jerry Vale on the Joe Rottolo radio show !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm 53 years old and wish I could have seen Jerry live. A beautiful voice and from everything I've ever heard about him a great man. God bless you Mr. Vale. Thank you for your music,
