Hey, why not? Just to expand everyone's musical horizons...
Really it is for the word 'fickle' which was used in the Shirelles song 'Foolish Little Girl'.
Now Frank Sinatra had a few songs with 'fickle' in the lyrics, but I'm going with Doris Day from December of 1949...
with her rendition of 'Quicksilver'...It was written by Eddie Pola, George Wyle and Irving Taylor.

Such controversy... I just read that in the movie Neptune's Daughter, they had another song in mind,

(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China, but it was considered 'too suggestive' so here it is...from 1948...I'm not hearing any allusions to rhyming 'vagina' with 'China' or 'briny' with 'heinie' which was how I thought would be suggestive, but that's just me. ​

Kay Kyser & his Orchestra w/ Harry Babbitt & Gloria Wood on vocals...​

I really only knew Peggy Lee as she appeared on the occasional TV program in the 1970's. I liked her music, but couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.

But then I saw a documentary about her - probably, Fever: The Music of Peggy Lee, on PBS and, oh my goodness! In her younger days she was one hell of a sexy woman! Not to mention a gifted songwriter!

I was always partial to Glen Miller. Moonlight Serenade was always one of my favorites.

Love Sinatra.

But don't care for the early stuff with Harry James / Tommy Dorsey.

Her voice sounds like all the AI music that's on You Tube recreating classic rock songs into the lounge / swing era.

Richard Hayes - The Old Master Painter (1949) Charted a hit beginning in December till March of 1950 reaching as high as #2. I listened to Richard Hayes as a radio talk show host in the wee hours of the night in the mid to late 80's where he'd get all the weirdos of the Delaware Valley calling him with Art Bell topics that Hayes would kindly entertain without any question of the caller's sanity. Without further ado...
