1954 HITS ARCHIVE: The Happy Wanderer (Val-de Ri, Val-de Ra!) - Frank Weir


Playing Next: The Trip - Big Trouble [NUIT006]
Random Page  /  Random Song


The Happy Wanderer (Moller-Siegesmund) by Frank Weir with his Saxophone, Chorus and Orchestra

Specifically, it was the unique tone of the soprano saxophone that distinguished the recordings of British conductor Frank Weir and was featured memorably in his version of this 1954 hit from Germany (originally recorded by the Obernkirchen Children’s Choir). The other top-10 charted version of “The Happy Wanderer,” by Henri Rene, is also included in this 1954 posting.

THE 1954 HITS ARCHIVE - here in one place, a good-quality library of original-release-version best-sellers and songs that made an impact that were either released or enjoyed a major chunk of their popularity within the calendar year 1954 (some were recorded in 1953).
