What about the Andrews Sisters' version of "Rum & Coca Cola?"

  ... another "Matilda' query, wasn't it Paul Bascomb's orchestra (on States, a 
subsidiary of United) who did the first version by a non calypso artist (rec 
March 1952, NOT reissued on Delmark's "Bad Bascomb" LP and CD). Are there any 
others before Belafonte's in 1953 or Paul's in 1952 that are NOT by a calypso 
artist, Paul always claimed he was the first that was not by a Calypso artist 
(Belafonte is NOT a Calypso singer, but a very fine vocalist IMHO, and yes, I 
prefer the 1955 version, but then Tony Scott with a band including Bud Shank, 
Jim Hall, Ted Nash, Si Zentner and the remarkable Jimmy Giuffre - who is also on 
the Yves Montand USA live concert Lp with Jim Hall BTW - wish there was a jam 
session on it), just wondering
