Crying in the Chapel

Crying in the Chapel is a song written by Artie Glenn for his son Darrell to sing. Darrell recorded it while still in high school in 1953, along with Artie's band the Rhythm Riders. It became a local hit and publishers got a hold of it and it went nationwide. He released the original version as a single as Valley 105 in 1953. His original recording reached number one on the Cash Box charts where all the different versions were amalgamated and number six on Billboard. June Valli had the biggest pop hit version on the Billboard charts, reaching number four after charting for 17 weeks beginning August 1, 1953.

That same year, the black R&B group, The Orioles, recorded a cover version of the song, and it became a major success. The Orioles' cover version went to number one on the R&B chart and number eleven on the pop chart.

Darrell Glenn's original version also hit number six on the Billboard pop singles chart and number four on the Billboard country and western chart, Rex Allen's number eight, Ella Fitzgerald number 15, and Art Lund reached number 23.

A recording by June Valli with orchestra directed by Joe Reisman was made in New York City on June 11, 1953. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog umber 20-5368 (in USA) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog numbers HR 10007, N 14105 and CS 14.
