April 25, 1959 –
The Fleetwoods hit No. 1 with their recording of Come Softly to Me on this date.
The original title of this song Come Softly, was changed because Dolphin (later Dolton) Records owner Bob Reisdorff feared that AM radio DJs would think it to be too suggestive. He was being extra-cautious, Dolphin Records was formed by the Seattle DJ for the sole purpose of distributing Fleetwoods records.
Remember kids, don’t dance so close. Leave room for the Holy Spirit.
