1954 HITS ARCHIVE: The High And The Mighty - Leroy Holmes

Описание: The High And The Mighty (Tiomkin-Washington) by Leroy Holmes and his Orchestra, whistling by Fred Lowery

We are including all three top-10 “whistling” orchestral versions of this famous Dimitri Tiomkin movie theme along with the Johnny Desmond vocal. Which among these you best recall might depend upon where you lived and to which radio station you listened. This Leroy Holmes arrangement featuring the famed blind whistler Fred Lowery is the one that I heard most frequently.
