Walk Right In -- The Rooftop Singers
This was a big hit for The Rooftop Singers in 1962, but it was originally written in 1929. The group had heard an old blues recording of the song, and they wanted to cover it. But when they played it the first time, they decided it needed something, and what they decided it needed was 12-string guitars. At the time, 12-string guitars were almost unheard of in the U.S.; you couldn't find one in a music store. They ordered two from Gibson, and then had to wait several months for them to be built before they could record the song.
