David Whitfield - Answer Me (1953)

Charted at #1 on UK Singles chart in November 1953. The BBC put out a partial ban on this recording because of the religious theme in the lyrics. It was considered inappropriate at the time to make religious references in a pop song. As a result, David re-recorded this song as "Answer Me, My Love", hence the title on the sheet music in the photo. "Answer Me" was a #1 UK hit for both David Whitfield and Frankie Laine and Billboard Pop Top 10 in the US for Nat King Cole in 1953/1954. Written by Gerhard Winkler, Fred Rauch & Carl Sigman. B-side is "Dance Gypsy Dance".
