Alan,

I have heard other female artists sing 'Orange Colored Sky' but not Betty Hutton.

Wow!

Flash! Bam! Alacazam! .... Betty's interpretation of the song is a good example of why one version of a song by a particular artist is a particular person's favorite. Betty's is now my favorite version.

Thanks for posting.

Betty sure gave it all she's got, belting out Flash ! & Bam ! & Alacazam ! with total uninhibited energy.

There are several "cover" versions of tunes out there that I like better than the originals. Back in 1950, though, & up until the top rock & roll artists started writing their own tunes, the "cover" concept hadn't really taken hold. Before that, just about all the top bands & all the popular singers performed & recorded most of the top hit tunes regardless of who came out 1st with a new song.

I'm with you on endorsing Betty Hutton's recording of Orange Colored Sky as the definitive performance. What a gal !

Alan, I love those old Christmas songs, so thanks for sharing. We have a radio station locally that plays Christmas songs 24/7 for a month before Christmas. Sadly, on midnight Christmas day, it comes to an abrupt stop.
