But in late 1949 Eileen cut an uptempo novelty tune introduced on the "Breakfast Club" radio show at that time, with an undercurrent of R and B called "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked A Cake" on National #9103.
For the next year and a half, Barton struggled to keep her career going and had some success because of the lingering fame of her big hit record.
By 1954, EileenBarton had moved to network radio in that medium's last dying days with a program for the CBS network.
The 1953 recording by Nat King Cole (issued as catalog number 2346 by Capitol Records) is the best-known recording, reaching #2 on the Billboard charts.
Recordings made at about the same time by Ralph Marterie (issued as catalog number 70045 by Mercury Records, reaching #6) and by EileenBarton (issued as catalog number 60927 by Coral Records, reaching #17) also charted.
On the Cash Box charts, where all versions of the song were combined, the song reached a peak of #5 in 1953.
