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

[Cary Ginell]

I have six 78s by Thompson on Mercury. Earliest is 6325 (You Belong to Me is 6407). I also have one by her on the 70000 pop series. Singleton was also a Mercury artist - a lot of them were on the Louisiana Hayride (Jones, Johnny Horton, Benny Barnes, Eddie Bond, James O'Gwynn, Tibby Edwards, Country Johnny Mathis, Jeanette Hicks - who also recorded with Jones - and Gary Bryant are some others.
