"My Heart Cries For You" and
"The
Roving Kind" resulted in two million sellers on one record.
Thus
started a string of hits that was to span the entire 1950's - songs like
"Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania", "Sparrow In The Treetop", "My Truly, Truly Fair", "Belle,
Belle, My Liberty Belle", "She Wears Red Feathers", "Look At That Girl"
and many more with the Mitch Miller Orchestra.
Guy recorded with Ray Conniff
and scored his biggest success, "Singing The Blues." Recorded in
1956,
it has sold more than ten million copies world wide and topped the
American charts for ten weeks. More hits followed "Knee Deep In The
Blues," "Rock-A-Billy," and launching into a new decade, another million
seller with "Heartaches By The Number" in 1960.
Guy Mitchell recorded duets with Rosemary
Clooney, Mindy Carson, and Doris Day. Thirty five of his recordings
achieved hit parade status, five of them reaching the No. 1 spot in Britain.
He had six, million selling records and, by the end of the 1950's,
total record sales had exceeded forty four million.
