Was looking forward to your going back to 1948. Will be disappointed if you don't, but just in case: though Kiss Me, Kate and South Pacific albs don't come out till 1949, singles are as ace as can be; these five off the top of my head, and who knows what I'm overlooking, not to mention the vast number I don't know?

1. The Orioles "It’s Too Soon To Know"

2. Lonnie Johnson "Tomorrow Night"

3. Muddy Waters "I Can't Be Satisfied"

4. Charlie Parker Quintet "Embraceable You"

5. John Lee Hooker "Boogie Chillun"
