Eddy Arnold
About Eddy's song:

"You Don't Know Me" is a song written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold in 1955. It was first recorded by Arnold that year and released as a single on April 21, 1956 on RCA Victor.[1] The first version of the song to make the Billboard charts was by Jerry Vale in 1956, peaking at #14 on the pop chart. Arnold's version charted two months later, released as an RCA Victor single, 47-6502, backed with "The Rockin' Mockin' Bird", which reached #10 on the Billboard country chart. Cash Box magazine, which combined all best-selling versions at one position, included a version by Carmen McRae that never appeared in the Billboard Top 100 Sides listing.
The best-selling version of the song is by Ray Charles, who took it to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962, after releasing the song on his #1 album Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music. This version also topped the "Easy listening" chart for three weeks in 1962, and was used in the 1993 comedy film Groundhog Day. The song also became the twelfth number one country hit for Mickey Gilley in 1981.[2]
The song has been performed or recorded by hundreds of artists, including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson.

Good afternoon, radio folks.

edgar, didn't know that one by The Kinks. Need to check them out. Do know Eddy Arnold's You Don't Know me, and thanks for that info.

hbg, Love I'll Sail My Ship Alone by Hank as well The Girl from Ipanema by Astrud and Stan (Jobim, too). Sang that one on TV and still recall the announcer calling it EYEpanema . Happy Days Are Here again by James Last was FDR's Theme song. The last president to have one. (except Poncho, of course).

Today is this lovely lady's birthday, and here she is singing a good one with Keith.

Sorry if I failed to acknowledge any of the great music, as I'm having a bit of trouble with our equipment and book keeping.

I know that song by the Everly Brothers, letty.

Billy

thanks once again for restoring our signal, edgar, and appreciate your citing the version done by The Everly Brothers. Love Hurts is a good one regardless.

Just found out that "the jester" will be giving another concert in May. Carrie will be attending that one, too.

Thanks for his version of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. I even enjoyed his harmonica on that one, edgar.

Saying goodnight with two songs. First Celine Dion as today is her birthday.

Hard to imagine that Easter (sunday) comes in March this year.

From Letty with love and hope for our future.

I like Celtic Woman's song, letty. And My Heart Will Go On is a big favorite of mine.

George Hamilton/Hank Williams Jr's voice

Thanks again for your comment, edgar. George did a good job via Hank, Jr.'s Cheating Heart.

Awakened early this morning with these two songs in my head.

and, y'all, this one.

Happy Easter!

Are you old enough to remember this style of pop music?

Happy Easter, folks. I know your music slightly, letty. I can see clearly now that Bobby's Girl has made an appearance.

Welcome back, Nomad man. I remember chewing bubble gum.

edgar, thanks for the comment and your double funny on Bobby and Stevie's Wonderman.

I also remember Gene and Peter Cotton Tail.

Neko, do you remember PaPa Haydn? Well, he's dead and gone but his music lingers on; when his heart was full of bliss he played jolly tunes like this.

SURPRISE! it's his birthday.

Haydn was great, letty.

Thanks again for your comment, edgar. I really, REALLY love that Deportee by those Highwaymen, and, of course, Starry Starry Night by dear Don.

Remember Alfred Noyes? Another Highwayman.

I had to memorize The Highwayman in high school, letty.

Keane
Walnut Tree

Once there was a great storm,
Pushed my head beneath the waves,
I was gone.

Underneath the walnut tree,
Where you said you'd wait for me,
And I waited a long, long time

I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time.

Why, why do I come here?
Seeking out the memories I hold dear,
'Cause you put your spell on me,
Made me live a memory,
And I'm frozen in just the wrong time.

I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time.

I was supposed to read it at a forensic meet, edgar, and awakened with the German measles.

Love The Walnut Tree by Keane. Didn't know that one so thanks for the introduction.

Today is Herb Alpert's birthday, so here is a medley by that wonderful performer.
