Gale Storm had already proved that she could render R&B inert and now in one of the final multiple chart version battles, she squeezes out another win and for no good reason. Her “Dark Moon” is the least listenable track in many an age. She sounds like a Mae West 78 played at 33⅓ with a backing chorus that decided its first appearance on record should be backing Gale Storm. Yet for all of this, it still gets in my head and stays there. “Oh tell me why, oh tell me why, oh tell me why.”
