obscure music question?

[cupid04]

Do you know which year [between 1952- 1962] did Burt Bacharach and Hal David have a hit record?
Max Bygraves had two hits in this same year.

[cupid04]

Any ideas at all, pretty please?

Still looking - but Burt and Hal did not meet until 1957

1958

Max
You Need Hands / Tulips From Amsterdam May 1958

David /Bacharach
Gary Miller singing 'Story Of My Life' January

Also in 1958 Perry Como & Ronnie Hilton charted with Magic Moments (Hal & Burt composition)

1958 Puternuts 2nd answer is right. Who is Gary Miller?

[cupid04]

Thanks everyone. You're all stars. You are all best answers!

Michael Holliday also did the story of my life in the same year

My Ukelele Jan 1959
Jingle Bell Rock Dec 1959

Sorry cupid but I would say your question has too many answers

[cupid04]

Some listener set the teaser on the Keith Skues show I was listening to. 1958
was read out as the correct answer but he read the answers and all those that rang in with the correct answer that he didn't have time to play the final record
[which would have been a Max Bygraves or Burt Bacharat/Hal David song.
Hal David has died this week also.
