1955 HITS ARCHIVE: Tweedlee Dee - LaVern Baker (correct speed)
Tweedlee Dee (Scott) by LaVern Baker and The Gliders
At the beginning of 1955 when the crossover of R&B artists onto the pop charts was not yet commonplace, LaVern Baker’s “Tweedlee Dee” performed rather well in that regard, reaching #14 on the pop juke box listings and #22 sales. It was a #4 hit on the rhythm ‘n blues charts. See also the Georgia Gibbs version.
Note that most reissues of LaVern’s “Tweedlee Dee” run at a slightly slower speed/lower pitch. This brighter sounding post is the way the actual hit version was heard in 1955.
