11th September, 1953 (6 weeks)
the 11th of September and Frankie Laine's run at number 1 is ended by Guy Mitchell scoring his second number 1 single with 'Look At That Girl'.
Guy Mitchell is back and singing about girls again. The swine. Though it's less of a novelty record about London Bankers this time and bit more in the big band swing style.
'Guy Mitchell' was just a stage name for Mr Albert George Cernik - an American of Croatian descent. It came about as a result of Columbia Records executive (and producer of this song) Mitch Miller, deciding that Cernik seemed a nice 'guy' and his own name was Mitch. Et voila, Guy Mitchell the superstar was born.
