Eddie Fontaine
Eddie Fontaine (March 6, 1927 – April 13, 1992) was an American actor and singer, best known for television roles in the 1960s and 1970s.
Biography
Born Edward Reardon in Springfield, Massachusetts, Fontaine signed as a vocalist with RCA in 1954 after serving in the US Navy. In 1955 he appeared at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater in disc jockey Alan Freed's first rock and roll show. He also sang in the Jayne Mansfield movie The Girl Can't Help It (1956). Musically he is best remembered for his 1958 single "Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Trees)", which was later covered by The Beatles. He is listed as a "legend" but not an inductee at the Rockabilly Hall of Fame site.
Fontaine moved to Van Nuys, California, in the 1960s after singing in night clubs in pre-Castro Cuba. He landed a role in the World War II series The Gallant Men, where he played ladies' man PFC Pete D'Angelo and occasionally sang. Although he never won another regular role in a television series Fontaine made many guest appearances on shows such as 77 Sunset Strip, Baretta, Happy Days, The Rockford Files and Quincy.

Cool It Baby
by: Eddie FontaineI'm finding out what love is all about
And every day at three when school lets out
I see my baby I get weak in the knees
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a doggone tease?
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe's
The cats are stompin' on their heels and toes
I grab my baby, tried to give her a squeeze
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
My daddy told me there'd be times like these
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Oh, she spends my money then she plays me cruel
I'm beggin' her for kisses on bended knees
Gimme some lovin' baby, please, please, please
But I keep trying hard to make her mine
Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine
Until that time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart and threw away the keys
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Ha ha ha!
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Oh, spends my money then she plays me cruel
I'm beggin' for her kisses on bended knees
Why don't ya gimme some lovin' baby, please, please,
please
But I keep trying hard to make her mine
Someday the wind will blow, the sun will shine
Until that time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a doggone tease?
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Nothin' shakin', oh shakin'
