On these pages I try to give a list of "all" the songs John D. Loudermilk has written and who covered them.
I will never succeed completely, I know, but I try my best to give as many as possible.
In this overview I chronologically ordered the songs which (probably) have been recorded, though I haven't found a cover to each song. But you could help me make it more complete, mail me!

Part 1: 1956-1960
The Colonial & Columbia years, publishing for Universal-Cedarwood

A Rose and a Baby Ruth

"John Loudermilk" (composer credits on the US original 78), "Johnnie Dee" on some other 1956 releases

Most songs in the early years were originally released with "Dee" as composer; later releases give Loudermilk

JDL's first song, and a US top 10 hit!
original on Colonial as "George Hamilton and the Country Gentlemen".

← A Baby Ruth candy bar.

When the record came out, the Curtis Candy company, makers of Baby Ruth candy bars, sent a letter to Colonial record label demanding it be pulled for copyright infringement. By the time Colonial's lawyer replied, Curtis Candy had sent another letter advising the label to disregard the previous one: Sales had gone up 500 percent in the last month, as kids were eating the candy bars more and adults were sending roses and Baby Ruths to their sweethearts all over the country!

Also recorded (overdubbed by George Hamilton!) as "A Rose And A Candy Bar" for radio shows of other sponsors and the UK-market where the candy bar "Baby Ruth" was an unknown item.
Lyrics

Budget label release on Bell label, sound-alike covers of the hits of the day, music for the millions for 49 cents.
Singer was Barry Frank (real name, though many budget artists used a pseudonym), a good singer and some of his covers were better sung than the hit original,
Al Kooper, looking back on his 1970 version:
"I grew up with the GHIV version. Really loved the sincerity of it when I was about 13. Referring to a rose and a Baby Ruth, he sings:
I could have sent you an orchid of some kind, But that's all I had in my jeans at the time...
I think I tried to duplicate that teen sincerity in every song I wrote in my teens and early twenties. I worship J.D. Loudermilk.
My version was just a jam in between takes of another song on the album "Easy Does It" from 1970. I was kinda goofing, but put it on the album nonetheless. So, if you hear it, its not ALL together serious."

Joe Tanner (pic left: Joe ±1945 as a teenager), guitarist of Colonial houseband The Bluenotes, was an important element in Johnny Dee's early recordings. He arranged "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" and played the distinctive guitar break on "Sitting in the Balcony".
The Bluenotes (pic right, posing as Ebe Sneezer and the Epidemics), Joe Tanner (gtr), Pat Patterson, Tom Underwood and (right) Johnny Dee) played on sessions for the Colonial label, and recorded JDL's composition "Page One" (see below).
Joe Tanner later worked for Monument and Roy Orbison. His arrangement of Roy's hit "In Dreams" and playing on "Oh Pretty Woman" are some of his major feats. Joe's custom made Rickenbacker 12 string electric guitar on "Oh Pretty Woman" gave the record its irresistible sound.
Joe was called 'The Absent-minded Guitar Player' around Nashville, as he was constantly forgetting appointments and studio commitments, even forgetting to bring his guitar to a performance. Joe died in the early 1980's of a sudden heart attack. (Based on info supplied by Joe's cousin Jim Callahan)
 

My Big Brother's Friend

• Cecelia Batten (Apr. 1957, Colonial 431, a #35 local hit WCOP, Boston)
• Carol Hughes (Apr. 1957, Mercury 71095)

Cecelia Batten recorded for Colonial and worked with Joe Tanner and Johnny Dee. I was lucky to be able to contact her, she wrote me about her career:

I was a college student at the University of North Carolina when we cut that. I remember the duets [note 1] with him and I don't know what happened to them. They were fun and I can't imagine why Orville Campbell, the owner of Colonial Records, never released them. I never made any more records [note 2]. A group of University musicians and I were in a talent show and we mocked Elvis Presley for a laugh. An agent from New York saw it and interviewed me about becoming "a female Elvis Presley" but I wasn't interested in that!
I had won some small time talent shows and won trips to Miami and Cuba where I sang on radio and television and preformed in clubs. (Castro was still in the mountains.) I sang with local dance bands in college and had a TV show with a local disc jockey. Orville took an interest and that is how I got in on making the recordings. Everyone was so nice and we had a lot of fun. I went on tour to promote the record on radio and TV shows where I lip-synched the record. Everybody did that way back then.
Johnny Dee and all the musicians were very talented and very nice. They were a few years older than me and all married to nice ladies. They were very professional and always a pleasure to work with. We had many laughs together. Johnny always had that great big smile on his face.
I remember one time we were entertaining at a Veteran's Hospital outside of Washington, D.C. and were getting ready to go on stage when Joe Tanner, the guitarist, discovered he had lost his only guitar pick in the men's room. All the musicians ran in there to find it. We got on stage just in time. I never did ask them where they found it. I was laughing so hard I could hardly sing. Joe was such a sweet guy.
They were fun times and I loved performing. I moved to New York City after graduating from the University and did a few club gigs and some Off Broadway shows and some singing commercials, but nothing really big. I was just enjoying life. I fell in love, got married, and had two children. I sang a few times after that for fun. Some years later two very talented friends from my small town in North Carolina wrote and produced a musical called "Like Diamond Rings" about a small town's effort to attract industry. I came down from New York City to sing the female lead. Believe it or not, the show got a good review by the New York Times! That was my last public appearance. How's that for going out on a high note, if you pardon the pun.
They were wonderful days and they were all wonderful people.I remember them all fondly. Johnny Dee deserved a lot of recognition. He was an especially talented person and a very good-natured guy who wrote happy songs. And he wrote a lot of them!

Thank you Cecelia for sharing your memories!

Mary Klick, was born in Washington County, Maryland, in the early 1920s, in a family of 10 children.
Mary, a beauty crowned Miss Hagerstown 1948, played guitar and sang harmony in Jimmy Dean's band The Texas Wildcats. Around 1950, she was working with Rose Lee Maphis in a duet as The Saddle Sweethearts. They were featured on the "Old Dominion Barn Dance", a radio show for WRVA, aired from coast to coast. In the mid 1950s Mary worked for Connie B. Gay's Town & Country TV broadcasts, singing with Patsy Cline, Billy Grammer and George Hamilton IV. At the end of the decade she was a regular on Jimmy Dean's network TV shows. She then recorded her three 45-records:
Columbia 4-41048 Castaway/ Humble Heart (Nov. 1957);
Columbia 4-41138 It's Easy To Say You're Sorry / Stay Beside me (Mar. 1958);
Columbia 4-41289 I'm Gonna Catch You Baby / We Should Be Together (Nov. 1958).
These three records did not sell too well. It seems kind of strange that this professional artist, who got so much nationwide TV fame, released so few sides on vinyl.
Nowadays Mary Klick Robinson lives in Leesburg, VA.

Arnie Derksen, a Canadian rockabilly artist, recorded 3 Loudermilk songs, of which only 1 was released in 1959 and the 2 others 30 years later on a Bear Family compilation album. See covers below.

Left: 1989 compilation LP on the Bear Family label
right: a 1990s promotional picture.

Arnie (born 1932 in Saskatchewan, Canada) played dance halls with his band until he saw Bill Haley play in Vancouver and was converted to rock. In a recent interview, he says: I couldn't believe what they were doing on stage. He was the one that broke the ice. Arnie started doing Presley songs, and soon was advertised as Canada's Elvis Presley. When he could join a weekly C&W music show from the CBC Winnipeg for radio and TV, it opened up a lot of work. He toured with Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1958 he was signed by Decca and moved to Nashville to record. His 4 singles did not give him the break and he returned to working clubs. In Las Vegas, Derksen remembers: Charles Heston was in the audience, he stood up and shouted Bravo!, and Sammy Davis Jr walked in with an entourage of 27 people.
In the 1970s Derksen worked in clubs in Seattle, in the 1980s he started performing at senior centers at the weekends and in 2005, age 73, see picture at the right, he still is doing a few hundreds of shows a year.

In 1959 three young Norwegian actor-sailor-singers who worked for the motion picure "Windjammer" formed The Windjammers, and recorded an album for RCA. On the album two unique Loudermilk covers can be found, see below. How did the group come to record these songs?

Sven Libaek, one of the Windjammers, wrote me:
John Loudermilk and Chet Atkins were instrumental in signing The Windjammers to the RCA label at the time, and John and Chet produced the album. Jack Clement was credited as "producer" on the album, however the whole album would never have happened without John and Chet and in real terms they were the producers.
"March of the Vikings" was written specially for us. "Beatnik Bill", from memory, I think was a song that John had previously written, and he felt it suited us.
The Norwegian lyrics in "March" are based on an old Norwegian folk song. It is actually a pretty funny story. The line: "Kjerringa klipte lurvetufsa si" actually means: "The old woman clipped her goat" - however, with a bit of imagination, the word "lurvetufsa", which in the song refers to her "goat", could also refer to a very private part of her body, and of course Norwegians have a lot of imagination. We had a lot of fun singing it live in English speaking countries, as we would always find out if there were any Norwegians in the audience when the burst of laughter would reverberate throughout the venue. All the English lyrics were of course Loudermilk's.
It was a great thrill to work with those two legends. Chet Atkins actually played on several tracks on the album and the rest of the extra musicians just improvised around the already existing Windjammer arrangements without any music being written out. They told us to sing the songs to them once, and off they went. We were very impressed with it all at the time.
Sven Libaek was to become an important composer, arranger, producer, orchestral leader in Australia. He recorded over 30 albums.
