Rose Marie
"Rose Marie" is a popular song from the musical or operetta of the same name. It was written by Rudolf Friml, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein II.
It became a astounding hit in 1955 for American country & western music singer Slim Whitman in Britain (and not USA)!
Whitman's rendition of the songs spent (a record-breaking then)11 weeks, from end July to early October, at #1 in the UK Single Charts.
In addition to his fantastic success with "Rose Marie", an earlier recording of "Indian Love Call" and "China Doll" also occupied high places in the best sellers. Two more songs, "Roll On Silvery Moon" and "Cattle call" were also reported to have brisk sales in every corner of Britain.
