1. “I Wanna Be Loved” – The Andrews Sisters

Released in early 1950, “I Wanna Be Loved” showcased the Andrews Sisters' smooth harmonies in a more sensual, torch-song style than their usual upbeat swing numbers.

Their version resonated with a maturing audience, highlighting their ability to adapt their style while maintaining their signature vocal blend. It became a favorite among romantic ballads of the year.

2. “It Isn’t Fair” – Don Cornell with The Sammy Kaye Orchestra

This emotional ballad struck a chord with listeners longing for heartfelt melodies. Don Cornell’s warm, expressive voice paired perfectly with the lush orchestration of Sammy Kaye’s orchestra. The song’s lyrics,222 full of sorrow and reflection over unrequited love, made it a jukebox staple. It spent several weeks on the charts and was one of Cornell’s early hits before he went on to enjoy a successful solo career.

3. “Play a Simple Melody” – Bing Crosby & Gary Crosby

A charming and nostalgic duet between Bing Crosby and his teenage son Gary, this Irving Berlin tune was originally written in 1914. Their version, released in 1950, cleverly mixed classic ragtime with contemporary flair. The back-and-forth between Bing’s smooth crooning and Gary’s energetic delivery made it both a family favorite and a radio hit.
