Charted at #89 on Billboard Hot 100 in March 1957. A dreamy alto sax version of this classic song. Tab had two other Billboard charters: "I'll Live True to You" (#7 R&B in 1945) and "Because of You" in 1951 (#20 Pop chart, #1 R&B). Other charting versions of "Pretend": #2 on the pop chart for Nat King Cole in February 1953 (also #2 UK, #10 R&B), #6 for Ralph Materie in January 1953, #17 for Eileen Barton in February 1953 (which I've also posted), #57 for Carl Mann in October 1959 and #4 for Alvin Stardust in the UK in September 1981.Original Billboard review: "Organ backs up alto man Smith who is featured on a nice wailing, slurred solo throughout. Has a slow, danceable beat." Billboard rating: 68 out of 100.Written by Lew Douglas, Cliff Parman & Frank Levere.B-side of "Crazy Walk".
