Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Billy and Lillie

"La De Dah" and "Lucky Ladybug" were hit songs that were great.
Both recordings were released to the public in 1958.
These ditties had cute lyrics and a fine melody.
The artists were a duet by the name of Billy and Lillie.
Billy Ford hailed from Bloomfield, New Jersey.
Newburgh, New York, was Lillie Bryant's community.
Both songs were written by Bob Crewe and Frank Slay.
Unfortunately, in 1983, Billy Ford passed away.
However, Lillie Bryant is still around with us today.

Gershon Wolf April 19, 2021 at 8:27 PM I remember 'Lucky Ladybug,' actually, although not 'La-De-Dah.' It's stored there with other late '50's hits that I recall listening to when ditching school with fake sore throats: 'April Love,' by Pat Boone. 'North to Alaska,' by Jonny Horton. 'La Bamba,' by Richie Valens. 'Peggy Sue,' by Buddy Holly. 'Chantilly Lace,' by the Big Bopper.' 'Blue Suede Shoes,' by Elvis. So many, now that I think of them. Not to forget 'Flying Purple People Eater!' lol. Cheers, gw
