1955 HITS ARCHIVE: The Crazy Otto - Johnny Maddox (a #1 record)

The Crazy Otto (medley) by Johnny Maddox and The Rhythmasters Among the memorable instrumental 45s of the year was this happy honky-tonk styled piano medley of tunes, the most familiar of which was Irving Berlin’s “Play A Simple Melody.” Not an original concept by pianist Maddox, this was almost a note-for-note copy of the German recording “Die Beschwipste Drahtkommode (Part 2)” performed by “Der Schrage Otto” (pianist Fritz Schulz-Reichel), who was currently gaining fame in the U.S. under the moniker “Crazy Otto.” A similar 1955 Maddox release was “Johnny’s Medley,” which is also posted to this channel.
