They are different singers but very similiar. Whichever came second really seemed to match the phrasing in spots. I know Kukla, Fran and Ollie but I'm not sure I ever knew Fran's last name.

So they aren't the same recording with a different name, they're just very similar arrangements by very similar singers.<br /><br />And I believe Fran Allison is the Fran in Kukla, Fran And Ollie, so you may know who that is. :)Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-62425011172222418782020-12-08T13:35:49.497-05:002020-12-08T13:35:49.497-05:00I hope I didn't screw that up.
