Halloween Hits: "The Rockin' Ghost" Archie Bleyer (1956)
Archie Bleyer was the founder of Cadence Records, a semi-major '50s independent record label which scored major hits with The Everly Brothers, The Chordettes ("Mr. Sandman") and a young Andy Williams. This was his biggest solo hit.
The lyrics were, I think, written by the versatile actor, comedian, screenwriter Steve Allan.
