Which Vice President Had A #1 Hit?

Charles Dawes was the vice president under Calvin Coolidge, and he’s the only Vice President with a number one hit. Before he got into politics, he composed a song called “Melody in A Major”.  A singer named Tommy Edwards recorded a pop version with lyrics in 1958 for the song “It’s All In The Game”, and it was number one hit on the Billboard chart for six weeks.

Listen to the 2 and see if you can hear the similarities. Two completely different songs to me. It’s amazing how you can take the same notes in the same order and make two totally different songs!
