"I Believe" was commissioned and introduced by Jane Froman "I Believe" on her TV show, and became the first hit song ever introduced on TV. Froman, upset by the Koren War in 1952 so soon after World War II, asked Drake, Graham, Shirl and Stillman to compose a song that would offer hope and faith to the populace. Froman's commercial recording reached No. 11 in the Billboard charts during a 10-week stay. In the UK this record ran for 18 nonconsecutive weeks on the chart. Frankie Laine was #1 in the UK in 1953
