1955 I was five years old, and my mother was a fanatic for this song… It was her song. It is a five-year-old child I ended up very much liking it at a very young age. I think the connection she had to the song and how she loved the music and how it was done Made me really pay attention. I am now 73 years old and I love it more than ever. And obviously, it brings back deep loving memories for my mother!

After serving in the Korean War ended in 1953, my father returned to his practice in Honolulu, Hawaii as a Dentist in 1954. In his high school years, he played the trumpet bought and earned from working odd jobs. One such tune "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White", stuck in his head when he first heard it back in 1955. Every time he heard Perez Prado's version without sheet music, he played along from a vinal record he bought. Playing the trumpet was a favorite hobby turned passion. I still can remember how he played that piece and even tried to teach me how to dance the Mambo. Sadly, Dad died in 2015 at age 95. Thus version will always being back happy memories of Dad.

But, this song, this musical by Prado and his band always reminds me of my father as he played it offten.. And, what may have been today an awful lot of party with him (he played bongos at home). I'm 65 yrs old now, and I still remain a fan of this music, and whatever brief memories I have of my father "Pop", as we would call him. I hope he's resting well, he passed in his early 40s' from a heart ailment. Dad, a beer on you and Prado. - Rick

Maestro Perez Prado gracias por estas melodias que nos hacen olvidar penas o problemas y nos eleven el estado de animo.

My Mother loved this song and I heard it so much growing up, it became one of mine.

It was my Mother's favourite too, although it was a UK 🇬🇧 cover version by EDDIE CALVERT (aka the man with the Golden Trumpet) In our local itinerant pantomime group we sang and danced to it, wearing 'cherry pink' costumes. Happy Memories of 1955 with the Teignmouth Follies..

Memories. Back in the day, some organization ranked the top marching bands. They didn't say number 1, number 2 and number 3. They just named the top 3. All 3 were high school bands - no colleges made the top 3. They were Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the richest city per capita in the country at the time, Terre Haute, Indiana, where the instrument maker companies provided all of the instruments, uniforms and lessons and us. We were Chattanooga High School in Tennessee. All we had was the acknowledged top band director in the nation, A.R.. Cassavant. Anyway, we invited the other 2 down for concerts. Terre Haute accepted. This was the Spring of 1956, so without football, we all became concert bands. Terre Haute played this song in their concert. The trumpet player always kept his elbows up, so that his forearms were parallel to the floor. He was fantastic. In those stretches, his instrument went into a lower and much longer growl that did the player for the Perez Prado band. His control was perfect. I think all of the girls in the audience swooned.
