Description

I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now (Howard-Hough-Adams) by Ted Weems & his Orchestra, vocal by Perry Como and Ensemble

As had occurred earlier in the year with the song “Heartaches,” Decca again reissued an old Ted Weems track from their archives and saw it rise high on the popularity charts. The 20th Century Fox musical “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now” entered the theaters just as this swinging 1939 recording featuring a young pre-stardom Perry Como was taking off. Competing with himself, Perry then recorded a contrasting new version of the song for RCA Victor, arranged and performed as a slow ballad. Both releases sold well and are included in this collection, as are the other 1947 Como hits “Chi-Baba Chi-Baba” “Sonata” and “When You Were Sweet Sixteen.”
