Catch A Falling Star, written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss, and recorded by Perry Como, was the first ever record certified by the Recording Industry Association of American (RIAA) as selling over a million copies, and therefore the very first Gold Record was presented to Perry on 5th March, 1958.

Note that there were many records that sold over a million copies, even dating back to the 1920s, but Catch A Falling Star was the first 'Certified' Gold.
