Note

Fortune (MI) 45 - 513 : Unconfimed This is listed on the www. as Nick Forrest With The Del Rubio Triplets - I Can't Fall In Love /  I Walk In The Rain (1955)  there is zero evidence of the existence of a copy on Fortune other than the test pressing without Fortune on the label. But I can find labels on Boulevard 103 & Crystal 103 both 1955. So it may have been planned for issue on Fortune & fallen through.
