"Red Roses For A Blue Lady" (Bert Kaempfert) #11 3/20/1965

This song dates from 1948, and is another case of multiple versions of a song charting at the same time. Today's selection had three versions on the Hot 100 this week in '65 - this instrumental sounds like what a TV station would've played behind a "Please Stand By" slide. It's by German trumpeter and arranger Bert Kaempfert, who's noteworthy for producing the Beatles' first recording sessions in between their gigs at the Star Club in Hamburg.
