Throwing back to the week of October 31, 1956, we find Jim Lowe’s ‘The Green Door’ at #1, holding back Elvis Presley’s ‘Love Me Tender,’ at least for a couple of weeks.
The song was written by composer Bob Davie and lyricist by Marvin J. Moore and first recorded by Lowe. Later versions were released by Bill Haley and Crystal Gale, among others. A 1981 version by Welsh performer Shakin’ Stevens spent a month at #1 on the UK chart.
