Gene Chandler - Duke Of Earl

[media=https://youtu.be/h6Uht69h8Is]

Released 1961. "Duke of Earl" sold one million copies in a little over a month, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. After the song spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard charts, Chandler purchased a cape, monocle, cane and top hat and advertised himself as the Duke of Earl.

Great record! Did not appear on UK charts, not sure if it was even released here, but it turns up on compilations as do many US hits. I didn't know about the aristocratic dress 😀 that's a fun touch.

Gene Chandler had some (mostly minor) hits here, the biggest being 'Get Down', No. 11 in...1979
