Question
re: question about "Now I don't care if Im not the first etc etc which you answered 12/07. I remember this song from the mid 50's. Any idea who sang what was probably the original version? Who wrote it?

Answer
Hello Hugh,

I'm glad you asked this question. It gives me the chance to rectify a couple of mistakes made in my original answer last December (I was probably rushing off to a New Year's Eve party at the time :0]).

This song was actually called "I Don't Care" and was a #1 Country hit for Webb Pierce in 1955, and for Ricky Skaggs in 1982.

Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.
