WA2K Radio is now on the air

Oh, my gawd, edgar. I love Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag. For a while I thought that song was a WWII one. I see the porch singer preferred leaving out, "while you've a lucifer to light your fag." Thanks, Texas, for the comment on Dino.

Well, today is Johnny Carson's birthday, and here's a great tribute to him.

and the lyrics:

MAYBE I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

That's a very nice tribute to Johnny.

Hey, Brit. Welcome back. Always nice to you and Izzie with us.

Let Love Live by The Velvelettes was great, and The Contures doing Just a Little Misunderstanding was a fabulous tribute to Fred Astaire.

edgar, once again thanks for the comments, Texas, but you missed my pink pajamas.

Wow! Buddy Geco is excellent. What an interesting song. Yessir That's My Baby is an oldie but goodie.

You sent me searching again, Texas.

Greco began playing piano at the age of four. His first professional work was playing with Benny Goodman's band.[1] Most of Greco's work has been in the jazz and pop genres. He has had hits such as "Oh Look A-There, Ain't She Pretty", "The Lady is a Tramp", and "Around the World". He has recorded about 65 albums and 100 singles. He has had an active concert career playing in symphony halls, theatres, nightclubs, and Las Vegas showrooms (in the 1960s he made appearances with the Rat Pack). On screen, he was the nightclub singer, Lucky, in the 1969 film, The Girl Who Knew Too Much.

Two more dancing songs, y'all.

First, Fred again.

Roberta Flack
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
This record goes back to perhaps 1970.

I got the dope on it now:



"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who was later to become his wife. At the time the couple were lovers, although MacColl was married to someone else.

MacColl wrote the song for Seeger, also a folk singer, after she asked him to pen a song for a play she was in. MacColl wrote the song and taught it to Seeger over the phone. The alternative version of the creation of this song is that MacColl was challenged by a friend to write a love song, with no politics. This song was the result.

MacColl and Seeger included the song in their repertoire, when performing in folk clubs around Britain. During the 1960s, it was recorded by various folk singers (including a version as a solo guitar instrumental by Bert Jansch).

The song entered the pop mainstream when it was released by Roberta Flack, in 1972. The Flack version was much slower than the original: an early solo recording by Seeger, for example, clocked in at two and a half minutes long, whereas Flack's is more than twice that length. It was subsequently covered by numerous other artists.

MacColl reputedly hated almost all the recordings of the song, including Flack's. His daughter-in-law is quoted as saying:

"He hated all of them. He had a special section in his record collection for them, entitled 'The Chamber of Horrors'. He said that the Elvis version was like Romeo at the bottom of the Post Office Tower singing up to Juliet. And the other versions, he thought, were travesties: bludgeoning, histrionic and lacking in grace."

Roberta Flack version
The song was popularized by Roberta Flack and became a breakout hit for the singer after it appeared in the film Play Misty for Me. Though the song first appeared on Flack's 1969 album First Take, Flack's recording of the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year three years later.

Flack's slower, more sensual version was used by Clint Eastwood in his 1971 directorial debut Play Misty for Me during a lovemaking scene. With the new exposure, Atlantic Records cut the song down to four minutes and released it to radio. It became an extremely successful single in the United States, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts in April 1972 for six week runs on each. It reached number fourteen on the UK Singles Chart.
