Linden scored two hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 late in the 1950s. The first was "Billy", a song originally written in 1911; it hit #7 in 1958. The second was "Goodbye Jimmy, Goodbye", which rose to #11 in 1959. Both singles were released on Felsted Records and featured Joe Leahy's backing orchestra. "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye" incorporated elements of two previous tunes - the British music hall song "Two Lovely Black Eyes" and the country song "Goodbye Little Darling". There were a few covers, the biggest of which was by Ruby Murray in the UK. At the time of her first hit single Kathy was a married woman in her 20s, but her record company wanted her to appear as a child due to her childish voice.

Bonnie Lou's recording was No. 6 on the Billboard Country chart but never registered on the pop charts. It was also covered by Russ Morgan and although both were popular in the US, neither made a pop chart showing. Her recording of 'Daddy-O' topped at No. 14 on the Billboard pop chart.

A funny old number, but very likeable! Alma Cogan covered this in the UK I think. I even heard a very much toned down version played on the BBC's 'Morning Music' in 1954. Your upload is probably the 'original' as god intended, and who am I to bow down to false prophets lol!

I hadn’t realised this one was so widely covered. A refreshing arrangement back in 53 I should think what with the double track harmony from Miss Lou. Good production too.
