Thanks for your reply; according to Wikipedia and Ask.com Billy Regis was the featured trumpet player in Perez Prado's band and played lead trumpet on "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White"... Thanks again...

You seem to be the only person I've run into that knows anything about this song!!! So maybe you know...who played the American version if it wasn't Calvert? Years ago I knew a DJ who insisted the American version was played by somebody named Billy Regis, but he could never give me any proof and I could never find any...
