- Label: Caravan
- Catalog #: 15609
- Year: 1955
- A Side: I Can't Pretend
- B Side: Popcorn Willie
- 78 rpm Grading Standards: see details below

- Info: By the end of 1955, the Five Crowns were Doc Green, James Clark, Elsbeary Hobbs, Wilbur Paul, and Jesse Facing. Benjamin Nelson replaced Clark and they did one single for Transworld which wound up issued on Caravan ("I Can't Pretend"). Although that song was the A Side, if you flipped it over and played "Popcorn Willie" you would hear some very early uptempo rock 'n' roll with a mean sax solo blown in the middle.

78 rpm Grading Standards: (based on the VJM Record Grading System)
N- Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage and record plays like new.
E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still has nice luster, few light spindle marks or visual blems, and plays with minimal surface noise distortion.
V++ Above average with minimal amount of surface blems and wear. Playing is generally free from distortion although light surface noise may be present
V+ Average condition in which scuffs & general use may have dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches are audible and more intrusive.
G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music still audible with numerous noise issues.
G- Wear and scratch damage extensive creating excessive noise disturbances, although music still audible .
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
