Just like Rudy Vallee!

The New Vaudeville Band went to #1 in the USA on December 3rd, 1966 with the song "Winchester Cathedral". A copy of British Music Hall tunes, the singer sang through cupped hands in a Rudy Vallee voice, imitating the Vaudeville megaphone singers of the 1920's. Despite it;s novelty appeal, The song surged to number one twice, beating out the Supremes and the Beach Boys in the process.  A unique song, forgotten today.
