Hey There (Adler-Ross) by Sammy Davis, Jr., orchestra conducted by Sy Oliver
Though Rosemary Clooney’s chart-topping disc of the “Pajama Game” ballad was the clear “winner,” this smooth Sy Oliver-arranged version did reach the Billboard top-20 to become the first significant record hit for the up-and-coming Davis. See also the other Adler & Ross “Pajama Game” tunes “Hernando’s Hideaway” and “Steam Heat.”
