A GREAT DOO-WOP 78 FROM OTIS WILLIAMS AND THE CHARMS ON A UK PARLOPHONE 78
IVORY TOWER
b/w IN PARADISE
A Cincinnati vocal group, Otis Williams & the Charms landed a number-one R&B hit for almost ten weeks in 1954 with "Hearts of Stone," a song that remains among the most enduring doo wop anthems. Otis Williams, Richard Parker, Donald Peak, Joe Penn, and Rolland Bradley first recorded for Rockin' in 1953, but did "Hearts of Stone" for Deluxe the next year. They had several other hits, among them "Ling, Ting, Tong," "Two Hearts," "Ivory Tower," and "United," all of which made the Top Ten on the R&B charts between 1955 and 1957.
Ivory Tower
Written by Jack Fulton and Lois Steele
Originally a # 11 US R& B chart hit for Joe Williams and His Charms in 1956.
Covered by Cathy Carr at # 2 and Gale Storm at # 6 on the US Pop chart that same year.
Come down, come down from your ivory tower
Let love come into your heart
Don't lock yourself in an ivory tower
Don't keep us so far apart
I love you, I love you
Are you too far above me to hear'
