[78-L] Some more C&W survivors of the '50s who made 78s (was RE: George Jones)

[Ray Kilcoyne]

I have a Sue Thompson 78 of YOU BELONG TO ME on Mercury, I think, one of its 
earliest versions, circa 1952.
Margie Singleton (77) also had a chart hit in the late 50's, and to bring us 
full circle, she did duets with George Jones.

Definitely know of 78s by Brenda, Marvin, Mitchell, GH the IV and Sonny. And
the Everlys and Leroy VD.
