Throwing back to the week of May 16, 1956, we find Elvis Presley and Perry Como atop the Billboard singles chart with ‘Heartbreak Hotel‘ and ‘Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)‘,’ respectively.

At #3 that week was an instrumental medley by composer Morris Stoloff that combined the 1933 jazz standard ‘Moonglow’ with an instrumental version of the theme from the 1966 film Picnic, which starred William Holden and Kim Novak.

Interestingly, another version of the same medley was kicking around the charts at the same time. That one was by conductor George Cates. It hovered a few spots below Stoloff’s version for much of 1956, including one week when the songs were at #3 and #4.
