By June of that year, Carr's single had made it to all three of Billboard{{'}}s music popularity charts, and several other artists had released the song, including bandleaders Freddy Martin and Victor Young.[2][3] Gary and Bing Crosby's release of the song in July 1950 was a hit, ranked as the 4th best selling record of 1950 according to Billboard.[4] Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. also released a hit recording of the song in 1962 (Reprise Records R-20,128 US). Recording historyThe first recording of the song, released in May 1950 by Joe "Fingers" Carr and the Carr-Hops, stayed on the Billboard charts for 13 weeks, peaking at #7 on the Jukebox chart and #8 on the Best Sellers chart.[5][6][7] On June 23, 1950, Bing Crosby's son Gary Crosby recorded the song for Decca with his father, along with "Play a Simple Melody" as the A-side, making his record debut at the age of 17.[8][9] After its release in July, the Crosbys' recording stayed on the Billboard Best Sellers chart for 19 weeks, peaking at #3.[10] It was also a hit on the Radio and Jukebox charts, peaking at #3 on both.[11][12] The recording was also ranked #4 on Billboard's list of the top popular records of 1950 according to retail sales.[4] The next recording to chart was in 1962, when Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. released the song as the B-side of a Reprise single, which peaked at #94 on the Hot 100.[13] The A-side was Davis' duet with Frank Sinatra, "Me and My Shadow," and both tracks include banter between the singers and comical changes to the lyrics.[14] Their recording of "Sam's Song" stayed on the Hot 100 for 3 weeks.[13] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Catalog of Copyright Entries 1950 Published Music Jan-Dec|date=1950|publisher=U.S. Govt.
