“Tammy” is a song with music by Jay Livingston and lyrics by Ray Evans. It was published in 1957 and debuted in the film Tammy and the Bachelor. It was nominated for the 1957 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
The most popular version, by Debbie Reynolds, was released by Coral Records as catalog number 61851. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 22, 1957 and peaked at #1 on all the charts: the Disk Jockey chart, the Best Seller chart, and the composite chart of the top 100 songs. It also featured in the soundtrack of The Big Lebowski.
Polly Bergen sang “Tammy” on the premiere episode of her short-lived 1957-1958 comedy/variety show, The Polly Bergen Show, aired on NBC on September 21, 1957.A recording by The Ames Brothers also charted. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 47-6930. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 22, 1957. On the Disk Jockey chart, it peaked at #5; on the Best Seller chart, at #24; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached #29
Amazon has used DVDs of a triple feature of Tammy movies (including the one you mention) for less than $13 bux American. Hard to beat THAT with a stick, eh? Snag one for a future “snow day”.

sblake,
The only version of this I remember is the one I posted. Strangely I even remembered the movie where Debby sang it.
That movie hasn’t been around for a long while. I never see it listed on TV.

Rick,
A Tammy marathon! I haven’t seen those movies in years! Cheap enough at that price!
Thanks
