MARINER Who was the first to record Smoke Gets in your Eye (37) RE: Who was the first to record Smoke Gets in your Eye 05 Apr 07


Blue Mooon ,by the Marcels (1961) was one of my favourites of that era, but the whole vocal arrangement they used was a complete rip off of another, older Doo-Wop classic, the title escapes me at the moment .Was it Zoom by ? or Gee by the Crows? As a long time fan of Black American music I should know it but the ol' memory is letting me down . There are those who contend that the first Rock 'n'Roll record was Rocket 88 by Jackie Brentson, others claim it's Fats Domino's The Fat Man ,but who knows? Its all a matter of preference
