The list shows a big gap between 1942 and 1957.  Certainly there were dozens 
of recordings made between those years, not the least of which was a charted 
version by Ray Anthony in 1952.  Here are some possible others from that 
missing time period.

DeCastro Sisters
Four Freshmen
Sil Austin?
Leroy Holmes
Beltran?

Any others?
