Perez Prado & his Orchestra - Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom)

Perez Prado & his Orchestra - 'Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom)'

29th April, 1955 (2 weeks)

This version of a French song, "Cerisier Rose et Pommier Blanc" from 1950, reached number 1 for Mexican conductor and King of Mambo, Perez Prado in 1955.

'Older' Was That Really At Number 1? readers may remember some more of Perez Prado's music appearing in a 'quite popular' advert campaign from 1995, which subsequently saw said song ('Guaglione') reach Number 2 in the UK charts.

Maybe there should be a sister site, Was That Only at Number 2?...
