I love old time Rock and Roll music and just found out this about one of the all time greats.
The original to "Leave his love on Blueberry Hill" was GENE AUTRY. In 1940. 
It was not done as a cowboy song but a ballad first in 1940 vinyl and a 1941 movie long before it became a Rock standard.
Who knew what would come of it, also Sammy Kaye and Glenn Miller played BlueBerry Hill in the early 40s and Louis Armstrong in '49.
it was then put into mothballs until Fats Domino remade the song into his greatest hit.

just seeing Satchmo's name makes me want to listen to him......

My daddy had me listening to Satch, Al HIrt, Stan Getz etc.
I was listening by preference on my own to Johnny Cash, Webb Pierce, Ferlin Husky, Lefty Frizzell, Kitty Wells, Rose Maddox and other country singers. by the time I got to high school I liked the Beatles but when they first came to America I still was totally hard core country and would not even listen to anything rock and roll.

never heard any versions of the song. But it's still a surprising fact

What? No, Hank Williams? - We listened to everything from classical, musicals, country, to rock. Thank Goodness for older brothers. How about John Phillips Sousa - Every 4th of July?

Some of my favorites happen to be classical... people sometimes forget that movie scores are technically classical music. Who doesn't like the Star Wars themes? Lord of the Rings? Pirates of the Carribean?
