Debbie Reynolds Tammy

Recorded in 1957 (when Debbie Reynolds was 23 years old) for the film Tammy and the Bachelor, the song earned her a gold record and was the bestselling single by a female vocalist in 1957. The song spent 23 weeks on the Top 40 charts. It was number one for five weeks on the Billboard pop charts. The song was nominated for a Best Song Academy Award in 1957, but lost to All The Way from the film, The Joker Is In the movie (the first of the Tammy film series, and the only one Debbie Reynolds starred in), she costarred with Leslie Nielsen. At the time Tammy and the Bachelor was filmed, Debbie Reynolds was still married to Eddie Fisher. Less than a year later, Eddie Fisher began his affair with Elizabeth Taylor. Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher were divorced in 1959. In the film, as she sings the song, she s interrupted by her Aunt Renie (played by Mildred Natwick. ) For this video, I deleted that part,
