White Silver Sands
"White Silver Sands" is a popular song. The words and music were written in 1957 by Charles "Red" Matthews, although partial authorship is also claimed by Gladys Reinhart.
The song was a hit for Don Rondo in the summer of 1957, and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Charts. An uptempo tune, it was Rondo's second hit, and a contrast to the ballads he had recorded up to that point. On Canada's CHUM Chart's the song reached number 5.
