1947 HITS ARCHIVE: Open The Door, Richard! - Count Basie (a #1 record)

Who’s Richard?  And
why doesn’t the man have the key?

Ha good
Fun times, great song

Love this Song! I hereby dedicate to my nephew Richard & his wife Jen...

The year my Dad was born , had crazy songs. His brother Richard (my uncle) came about 4 yrs later (1951) .👶🙂

My brothers name was Richard wine I went to his house I'd knocked an start sing that song,😀

The real question is: did Richard let him in?

I know he ain’t out, I’m wearin’ the only suit we own.

Love this Doc😂

You are amazing Rick...such crazy songs in the 40s. I hope all is well with you.

Will we ever relive the 50's with it;s great music.

Several references to this song were made in Looney Toon cartoons.

I have the original recording!! On Fidelitone!!

“Open up that door! You’ll notice I didn’t say Richard.”

When I had a friend name, Richard, my dad used to sing this song. I love it.

This song was #1 the day my dad was born. Rest in Peace dad. I miss you every day and can't wait to see you again.
