This one was mistakenly included in the 1953 Singles Battle (remember it was much harder back then to accurately date some of these records.It can still be a problem today of course)

Luckily no harm was done (incidentally for anyone who doesn't know it that "Honeyboy" (nee Frank Patt) is an excellent blues - go check out YouTube!)

As for the "Keep It A Secret" song tho Jo Stafford had the first release on it (and the biggest hit) Dinah Shore recorded it first.Other notable covers were by Der Bingle and a countryish offering by Slim Whitman

I have it as a 6. Nice try by the boys but no coconut
