They had a hit in 1953 with "Sweet Mama Tree Top Tall", followed by another minor hit with "Open Up Your Heart". MARGIE RAYBURN (1924-2000) was an American vocalist, best known as a member of the musical group The Sunnysiders, who had a Top 40 US hit with the single "Hey! Mr. Banjo". Also a solo artist, Rayburn had a Top 10 hit with "I'm Available" in 1957. CHARLIE APPLEWHITE (1932-2001) was a 1950's crooner, noted for his baritone voice that earned him the title "The Little Man with a Big Voice". Hoping to capitalize off the success of singers like Frank Sinatra, Applewhite sang soulful love tunes, having hits with songs like "I Could Have Danced All Night", "Ebb Tide", and "I Love Paris". However, his popularity quickly died out with the rise of rock n' roll, which Applewhite later attributed to the end of his career and his forced retirement from show business. George R. Sanders, originally a disc jockey, became a prominent radio/TV interview host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland. Left edge torn and frayed from binding. Toned, esp. heavy on outer margins.
