Frank Sinatra wasn't the only singer to record "Melody of Love" in late 1954. An instrumental by Billy Vaughn was the most popular version, spending 27 weeks on the chart. A month later, an instrumental version by David Carroll started a 17-week run. Tom Glazer added lyrics to the 1903 song, and these were crooned by the Four Aces and Leo Diamond.
Sinatra's version spent 4 weeks on the chart in early 1955, peaking at #17.
In addition to a number of department and variety stores, all of them located on Central Avenue, Great Falls had 3 stores that sold phonograph records in the mid-1950s, according to the yellow pages of the phone book.
