On this day in 1957 {September 16th} "Humpty Dumpty Heart" by LaVern Baker entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #71 and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100... The song was featured in the Alan Freed's 1957 movie "Mr. Rock and Roll" {the film had its world premier exactly one month later on October 16th in New York City}... In 1991 LaVern was the 2nd female solo artist inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame {Aretha was 1st, of course}... R.I.P. Ms. Baker {1929 - 1997}...
