"Where Will the Dimple Be?" is a 1955 single by Rosemary Clooney supported by the Buddy Cole Quartet, the Mellomen, and the bass solo of Thurl Ravenscroft, about a pregnant wife speculating where her baby's dimple will be. Clooney recorded the song on January 13, 1955,[1] just weeks before the birth of her son Miguel Ferrer on February 7, 1955.[2] The song was also covered by Alma Cogan[3] and Lorrae Desmond (with Bob Sharples and His Music, and The Melodaires).[4]
The Clooney version did not chart in the USA despite Billboard magazine of March 12, 1955 saying "The sales curve on this disk is also showing a fine upward slope after little more than 10 days in the field" but it was very popular in the UK where it reached No. 6 in the charts in 1955 during a 15-week stay.[5]
