Kay Starr

I should have a collection by Kay Starr but I don’t. She was a popular Capital recording artist, and she had 14 songs on the top 100 between 1956 and 1962, and more before that. I just have the two songs.




Kay Starr:



Rock And Roll Waltz – This was a big hit, number 1 in February, 1956. Obviously a novelty song, but the underlying message is how incomprehensible the new music was for adults. Still, at the end, the real message is that it does not matter. Let’s do the rock and roll waltz.
If You Love Me – Let it happen, she sings. Read anything you want into it, she is singing of love itself. I think. This is from 1954.
