1953 HITS ARCHIVE: Crying In The Chapel - Orioles (#1 R&B hit)

Crying In The Chapel (Glenn) by The Orioles Posting Artie Glenn’s inspirational ballad in all four 1953 versions that landed on Billboard’s pop best-seller charts. For a doo-wop-ish R&B vocal group to reach #11 on the mainstream singles sales chart was quite an accomplishment at the time....and a signal that change was on the way. This classic version also spent a month atop the Billboard Rhythm & Blues listings. It’s not to be confused with their more highly-produced 1959 remake by ‘Sonny Til & the Orioles’ which ran under 2 minutes in length.
