Did you know: "A White Sport Coat (and a Pink Carnation)" was a 1957 rock and roll song with words and music both written by Marty Robbins. It was recorded January 25, 1957 on the Columbia label & released on March 4, 1957. The arranger & recording session conductor was Ray Conniff, an in-house conductor/arranger at Columbia. Robbins is said to have had the inspiration for the song while driving from a motel to a venue in Ohio where he was due to perform that evening. During the course of the journey, he passed a high school, where the students were dressed ready for their prom. While performing at at the Life Care Center, I was requested to learn this song. ♫♪ ♥ ♪♫ American folk singer Jimmy Buffett released an album in 1973 that was a play on the title of this song: "A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean." ♫♪ ♥ ♪♫
