Music! Music! Music!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Music! Music! Music!" is a popular song written by Stephen Weiss and Bernie Baum and published in 1949.
The biggest-selling version of the song was recorded by Teresa Brewer on December 20, 1949 and released by London Records as catalog number 604. It became a number 1 hit and a million-seller in 1950. A version recorded by British singer Petula Clark was popular in Australia the same year. An instrumental version was recorded by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1959 and released as a single in 1960; it was the band's final release for Decca Records and was only a minor hit. The R&B group The Sensations released an updated rendition in 1961.
Melanie also covered the song on her 1976 album Photograph.
Teresa Brewer recorded several renditions of the song during her career. The Coral label made a recording for their catalog, which had a larger orchestral arrangement and stronger beat. When she moved to the Philips label in 1962 they made a new recording in Nashville. In 1973 on the Amsterdam label a rendition with a strong rock and roll beat was produced. When she was with the RCA label in 1974-75, Brewer recorded an new version. In 1976 on the Signature label, Brewer recorded a disco version. Only the original London release was a chart hit.
