Sometimes a song just seems to take on a life of its own. It catches on and the listening public can’t get enough of it. Artist after artist records the song and the song can remain on the charts for months if not years. While you don’t see this happen very often these days back in the pop standards era—1946 to 1964—it happened all the time. It was not uncommon for a song to on the charts several times each version sung by a different singer but with virtually the same arrangement as the other versions.
