Lambert, Hendricks and Ross initially sang Salt Peanuts, later made even more famous by The Pointer Sisters. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate a copy, but I did find them singing a surprise ditty here:

Hey SueSue, thanks for bringin' LAMBERT, HENDRICKS AND ROSS along for a spin; they've been faves of mine for ages! The tune you picked ("Every Day") is from a great 1957 LP called SING A SONG OF BASIE which, I believe, is still available on CD!!

And now, to close out our first big night at the Record Party, here's the eternally lovely Miss June Christy from 1950 doing her big hit, "Takin' A Chance On Love."
