https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUqH4Qd-kgQMost people I know Have Eddie Fisher at or very near the bottom of their shit list of 1950'smale pop singers but I'd place the even more abysmal Eddy Howard even lower.
At least Fisher had one tune I found moderately passable ("Cindy Oh Cindy")----plus any guy who has slept with Debbie Reynolds,Liz Taylor and Connie Stevens (tho sadly not all at the same time) has to command a modicum of respect
