Mantovani was often referred to as Monty, so that's within the realm of 
possibility..don't forget, pop charts included everything in those days and 
Mantovani had a hit version of Around The World.

Tommy Edwards didn't have a big hit till 1958 (although he'd been around in the 
early 50s). Tommy Sands had a big one with "Teen Age Crush" in February '57.
