A White Sport Coat

A White Sport Coat

A White Sport Coat (and a Pink Carnation) was a 1957 rock and roll song with words and music both written by Marty Robbins.

Robbins is said to have had the inspiration for the song while driving from a motel to a venue in Ohio where he was due to perform that evening. During the course of the journey, he passed a high school, where the students were dressed ready for their prom.

The song reached #2 in the U.S. music charts and #1 in the Australian music charts in 1957.
