Paloma Blanca, often called Una Paloma Blanca, is a song written by the Dutch musician George Baker and first recorded by his band The George Baker Selection. The single was a hit throughout Europe, and was taken from the group's fifth album of the same name.

The song became a #1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Easy Listening Singles chart in early 1976 (becoming that chart's overall #1 song for 1976) and peaked at #26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100,^[1] as well as peaking at #33 on the U.S. Hot Country Singles chart.^[2] and #10 on the UK Singles Chart.

Cherry Pink

"Cherry Pink (and Apple Blossom White)" or "Cerezo Rosa" or "Ciliegi Rosa" or "Gummy Mambo", is the English version of "Cerisiers Roses et Pommiers Blancs", a popular song with music by Louiguy written in 1950. French lyrics to the song by Jacques Larue and English lyrics by Mack David both exist,^[1] and recordings of both have been quite popular. However, Perez Prado's recording of the song as an instrumental with his orchestra featuring trumpeter Billy Regis,^[1] whose trumpet sound would slide down and up before the melody would resume, was the most popular version in 1955, reaching number one for 10 weeks on the Billboardchart. Perez had first covered this title for the movie Underwater! (1955), where Jane Russell can be seen dancing to the song.^[1]Billboard ranked this version as the No. 1 song of 1955.^[2] The most popular vocal version in the U.S. was by Alan Dale, reaching No. 14 on the chart in 1955.
