Description:
Pretty Eyed Baby (Williams-Johnson) by Jo Stafford and Frankie Laine, orchestra conducted by Paul Weston
Several years earlier, “Pretty Eyed Baby” had been recorded as “Satchelmouth Baby” by the King Cole Trio and by Deek Watson’s Brown Dots. With a Paul Weston arrangement and some alterations to the original title and lyric, this new version earned a #13 spot on the weekly pop juke box charts, followed a few months later by Jo & Frankie’s top-10 hit “Hey, Good Lookin” (also posted).
