Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White : Song By Alan Dale

A TRIBUTE TO ALAN DALE : Prince Of Baritones (1925 – 2002) Long, long, ago, as the story goes, A cherry tree had grown next to an apple tree! And underneath them a boy had met his bride to be! As he looked into her blue eyes, the breeze began to blow, And blossoms fell on their heads gently so! And as he held her tight, the branches of both the trees got intertwined! And ever since then it has been said, On a full moon night, when young lovers meet, Under that Cherry and Apple Blossom tree, One can hear Alan Dale the crooner’s voice, singing, “ Cherry pink and apple blossom white..”, - Echoing through the moonlight night! -Raj Nandy NOTES:- *Alan Dale, the Prince of Baritone of the 1950s, became popular for two of his all time hits of 1955; ‘Sweet and Gentle’ and ‘Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White’! The last three lines of his famous song, has been modified by me as way of a compliment! Born in Brooklyn, NY, his parents had migrated from Italy. He had featured in TV reality shows & movies with Bill Hailey and his Comets! After a Mafia attack in 1958, his career went gradually on a back slide! But his evergreen song survies! ** ALL COPYRIGHTS RESERVED BY RAJ NANDY**
