By the late 40s the girls were singing with Perry Como on his radio show, followed him to TV and sang on many of his records from 1949 through 1953, many of which were monster hits. The Fontane's were also signed to an artist's contract with RCA which was Perry's label.
At least 4 of their recordings landed on the Billboard Top 30 charts.
In 1954 the Fontanes left RCA and signed with Randy Wood's Dot Records. Their first single for the label was a remake of an early 20th century hit HAPPY DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS. The record charted at number 18 in Billboard and their hit string began. One of their follow up releases, HEARTS OF STONE, not only established them as recording stars, but also topped the Billboard charts. By the end of their chart career in 1959, the Fontanes had placed 24 singles on the Billboard Pop charts. A number of others were also listed on the Cashbox charts at a time when they ran to 40 or 50 places while Billboard charts had between 20 and 30 positions.

I liked hearing the whole song. My mom sang this to me. I was born in 53. I had forgotten it and stumbled across this. Thank you for posting it. Long ago memory, appreciated.
Lee Mclaury
So did my mother in the 50s
Debbie Perrone
My Mom taught me to sing this when I was a little girl. I was born in 1952. She played piano and I sang it. I have the sheet music. (not this version though)
John Q Taxpayer
My mom sang it to me and I was born in 64
Toni Cox
My mom used to sing this to me. Based on the ages of many commenting, someone must have sung it to her; she was born in 61. I miss her a lot, and I wish she could have sung it to my nephew...

I'm 15, but I was given this music box and it plays just the music to this song, I've been trying to find it and I finally did when my mom remembered some of the lyrics from it.

Emily Smith
My grandma used to sing this to me. She passed away 2 years ago and I miss her every day. I will never forget this song. :)
Raven Black
Same here. Mine passed two years ago and she sang it to me also. I dreamt of the song last night and woke up and had to look for it.

I grew up with this song because my grandparents (whom I spent summer with) sang it and we actually had a cellar door you could slide down!
