EspañolSINGING THE BLUES
"'Singing the Blues'" is a popular song. It was written by Melvin Endsley and was published in 1956.
The best-known recording of the song, released in October 1956 by Guy Mitchell, spent 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart from December 8, 1956 - February 2, 1957, despite competition from rival versions by Tommy Steele and Marty Robbins. It also became a UK Top 30 hit for Dave Edmunds in 1980. Other notable cover versions include a 1960 recording by Bill Haley & His Comets. In the United Kingdom both the versions by Steele and Mitchell hit #1 in the same year. The song was a hit again in 1994 when covered by Daniel O'Donnell. It is not related to the song "Singin' the Blues," written by Sam Lewis, Joe Young, Con Conrad and J. Russel Robinson and recorded by Frank Trumbauer and Bix Beiderbecke in 1927. The tune was also sung by Vivian Vance and William Frawley (Ethel and Fred of ''I Love Lucy'' fame) for a Ford Motor Company television commercial promoting the Edsel.
A cover version was released by the Kentucky Headhunters on their 1997 album ''Stompin' Grounds''.
A parody of this song has been adopted by fans of Ipswich Town Football Club who see it as the official anthem of the team. It is usually sung in an attempt to mcok their fierce rivals, Norwich City:
''"I never felt more like singing the blues
When Ipswich win and Norwich lose
Oh Ipswich, you got me singing the blues!"''
