1948 HITS ARCHIVE: Just Because - Frankie Yankovic

Details

Description

Just Because (Shelton-Shelton) by Frankie Yankovic and his Yanks, vocal by Frankie Yankovic and Johnny Pecon

This catchy Frankie Yankovic polka was a top-10 jukebox hit on both the pop and country charts in 1948, followed a year later by their all-time sales champ “Blue Skirt Waltz” (see the 1949 HITS ARCHIVE). The much-recorded “Just Because” is often credited to the Shelton Brothers who waxed it in 1933, but it had been introduced in 1929 by Nelstone’s Hawaiians and was possibly composed by Sydney Robin.
