Rick, you have found two old-time greats...and two of my fathers favourites...

Another version just found although i have not heard of them...


RAMMEL

Jackie, go back a page for another Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy song. Marilyne posted it.

I remember the song you posted from around that same time, but it wasn't by The Browns. But I don't remember who did it.

Even Ray Stevens did it (and, unlike most of what he's known for, this wasn't a comedy version)

Almost the end of Summer, 2025.  Here's a  farewell song, sung by Frank Sinatra, lyrics by Johnny Mercer:  The Summer Wind

Where would the wild west be without music written and performed by talented Italians? One of these days I should attempt to watch some of these movies.

Music written and performed by a guy you've likely never heard of, but you've likely heard him playing at some point. Alessandro Alessandroni was an Italian composer, multi-instrumentalist and whistler who worked quite a bit with Ennio Morricone.

An emotional recitation of the lyrics of LaVern Baker's 1954 hit "Tweedle Dee" with piano accompaniment ;D

Another funny one from Cactus Pryor and company. I wonder what the original songwriters thought of this. This is at least the second recording to destroy this song - Spike Jones and company did a politically incorrect version called "Chinese Mule Train" with banjoist Freddy Morgan singing in a terrible Asian accent.

Even more fun from Cactus Pryor and company. This time he's marrying "The Thing" from Phil Harris' hit song of the same name...

A nice rendition of an old standard by Jackie Wilson. This was the B side of his R&B hit "Reet Petite" and later appeared on the Lonely Teardrops album.

A fun upbeat rendition of the classic "We'll Meet Again" by The Turtles from 1966. This was the flip side of the single "Outside Chance" in the US and "Happy Together" everywhere but the US (a different song was used for the B side of the US release of that single)

I've always liked the song Autumn in New York.  The lyrics are great, and it does sound "so inviting".  Makes you want to go back in time, when things in our World were really like this.   Never to return again.

A great September-related song. This was written for the 1960 play The Fantasticks, but the song is probably more well known than that play is these days. This is one of three versions that was a hit in 1965 (Ed Ames and Roger Williams also had success with the song that year). This version hit #10 on the "Easy Listening" chart in the US in early December of that year.
