I may be misremembering, but didn't Marilyn Maye sing "Step to the Rear"?

We had WNEW-AM on all the time and they played that song a lot.

Marilyn Maye DID have a hit with Step to the Rear. But she only recorded it ( as she had other show tunes like Cabaret and Sherry). She did not appear in the show. Marilyn Mason, another full voiced belter was in the show ( but did not introduce that number). Maye then recorded it for a Lincoln Mercury commercial which played for a number of years(and for which she received a new leased Lincoln every one of those years).

I'm now in S. Florida, where Maye played some months ago in Boca. The local "oldies" radio station plays her STEP TO THE REAR and CABARET in steady rotation.
