"Red Roses For A Blue Lady" (Wayne Newton) #23 4/17/1965

We give you the third of three versions of this song to chart simultaneously, this one by Mr. Las Vegas himself. It was his next hit after "Danke Schoen" which itself found new life in a recent TV ad. Wayne had well-publicized legal issues with NBC News over his once-vast holdings in Vegas which implied he had dealt with some wise guys. Nowadays he's in bankruptcy proceedings and had to put his Vegas compound, Casa de Shenandoah, up for sale.
