Marvin Rainwater - Songs by Marvin Rainwater (1957)

"Gonna Find Me a Bluebird" by Marvin Rainwater


Connie Francis had trouble getting traction as a popular singer.  She and her management tried her voice out across genres, including country and rock and roll, looking for a hit.  Her exercise in country music, "The Majesty of Love", came alongside Marvin Rainwater who was himself coming off his own country chart-topper.  The duet, the genre and association with chart success wasn't the formula for Connie.

Marvin Rainwater released his debut album Songs by Marvin Rainwater earlier that year in 1957 on MGM Records.
