Fraulein spent an entire YEAR on the Country charts [52 weeks] from its debut on March 30, 1957, and stayed at # 1 for four weeks. It also made it to # 36 Billboard Top 100. Not bad for a song that was clearly Country in every respect.
Fraulein was Bobby Helms first release for Decca in 1957 (Brunswick in the UK) reaching #36 on Billboard and #1 on the country charts in the US, but did not chart in the UK.
Black and White, wonderful song!
