"Don't Hang Up" is a 1962 hit single produced by Cameo-Parkway Records and performed by the American R&B music group the Orlons. The tune was originally issued in the US as the flip-side to "The Conservative", however, according to RPFiller on 45cat, "A Philadelphia DJ flipped it and the B-side became the hit."[1] Which is born out by the 45 showing the catalogue number C - 231 followed by a B. The song is also credited under the Ariola Records label. The song was a number-four hit on the Billboard Pop chart and reached number three on its R&B chart. One of the group's biggest songs during their career, "Don't Hang Up" remains an icon of the early 1960s era of popular music[2] and was awarded gold disc status for selling over one million copies.[3]
