History

Teresa Brewer (born Theresa Veronica Breuer; May 7, 1931 - October 17, 2007) was an American singer from Toledo, Ohio, who performed almost since childhood, winning a spot on Major Bowes Amateur Hour at age seven and touring nationally before her teens. Signed to London Records in 1949, she cut "Music! Music! Music!" as a throwaway B-side to "Copenhagen" - it unexpectedly sold over a million copies and became her signature tune, one of the era's biggest novelty hits. Moving to Coral Records in 1951, she racked up a run of pop, country, R&B and rock 'n' roll covers through the 1950s, including her best-selling record "Till I Waltz Again with You" (1953), the Mickey Mantle tie-in "I Love Mickey" (1956, with Mantle himself on the track), and covers like "Tweedle Dee" and "Let Me Go, Lover!" She also starred opposite Guy Mitchell in the 1953 film musical Those Redheads from Seattle. From the 1970s she reinvented herself as a jazz vocalist on Bob Thiele's label, recording with Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie, and cutting tribute albums to Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. Brewer recorded roughly 600 songs across a five-decade career, and never learned to read music, working instead from demo recordings.
