White Silver Sands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"White Silver Sands" is a popular song. The words and music were written in 1957 by Charles 'Red' Matthews, although partial authorship is also claimed by Gladys Reinhart.
The song became a hit for Don Rondo in the summer of 1957, and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Charts. An uptempo number, it was Rondo's second hit, and a contrast to the ballads he had recorded up to that point.
Versions have also been recorded by Dave Gardner and the Owen Bradley Quintet (also in 1957), and The Bill Black Combo in 1960. The latter version also reached #7 in the Billboard Chart. Sonny James revived the Argentine-themed song in 1972. The record hit the top five on Billboard's country chart.
