Don and Dewey: Pioneers Who Fell Short of Paradise
Who wrote the immortal ‘50s ballad “I’m Leaving It All Up to You,” recorded by Dale and Grace, Freddy Fender, Ben E. King, Donny and Marie Osmond and others, leading to its being named by BMI as the most performed song throughout the world in 1974?
Today’s Final Vinyl is “I’m Leaving It All Up to You” by Don and Dewey. The duo wrote a number of great songs but never received the fame that those who covered their work earned. This 1991 article is an in depth profile of the career of the now deceased pair. Great reading.
