Next to break Elvis' reign ("Teddy Bear/Loving You") at the US charts was actress/singer Debbie Reynolds with her song "Tammy".
The song was written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans and first debuted in the 1957 film Tammy and the Bachelor).
Debbie's recording of the song earned her a gold record and was the best-selling single by a female vocalist in 1957. It was number one for 3 weeks (2 weeks in August & 1 week in September) on the Billboard pop charts.
Lyrics:
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above,
"Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love"
The ole hooty-owl hooty-hoos to the dove,
"Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love"
Does my lover feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully,
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreamin' of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy ... Tammy ... can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low:
"Tammy ... Tammy ... you love him so"
When the night is warm,
Soft and warm,
I long for his charms
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreaming of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
