Round and Round (Shapiro/Stallman song)
"Round and Round" is a popular song by Joe Shapiro and Lou Stallman published in 1956. A version of the song recorded by Perry Como was a big hit in 1957. The song would prove to be Perry Como's last over-all number one on the Billboard charts. This song was recorded by Anne Murray in 1993 for her Croonin' album but it was only released as a bonus track for a special version of her Croonin' LP that was released by Heartland Records (1994). Anne Murray said she was always a huge fan of Perry Como and was featured in at least one of his television specials in the mid-1970s, the mass market release of Croonin' has Anne singing Perry's hit "Wanted"
The song was also covered by Norwegian singer Nora Brockstedt and Jens Book-Jenssen in 1957.
Como's version was featured in the 1999 motion picture Blast from the Past and also at the end of Episode 1 of Karl Pilkington's The Moaning of Life.[1]
