Yesterday was Joan of Arc's birthday. This L Cohen song is not specifically about her, but she appears in a cameo role.

There is at least one other Joan of Arc song, but I opt instead to play the Rolling Stones.

Hey, pushman. That song was played in the movie The Ninth Configuration? I saw that movie, and it was fantastic."twinkle, twinkle Killer Kane"?

edgar, That was a funny rolling stone song.

Awakened to a TCM the other evening and this was showing. Love Babs song from it.

@Letty,

Yes it is at 4.17 on this clip. It's my favourite film, at points hilarious and at other points so very moving.

That's one of Barbra's better recordings.

pushman, I think the message behind that book and movie was that Killer Kane was willing to sacrifice himself to help the astronaut to believe in himself again.

edgar, Love that memory of Jeannie doing Harper Valley PTA.

saying goodnight with Shirley Bassey whose birthday is today.

@edgarblythe,

edgar, thanks again for your comment and that song by Marty was a great version. I recall it best by Little Richard, however. Having a wee bit of a problem with the equipment in our Florida radio station, so I hope it gets worked out.

Two song for the morning here. First, remembering Tom Selleck.

Anyone remember Magnum P.I. ?

pushman, I loved that Madness by Prince.

edgar, Loretta Lynn's Blue Kentucky Girl was great.

Here are two versions of Madness that are an answer to The Prince.

First, Diana Krall.

Now, Nat Cole

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k656qg23GmY

Which do you prefer?

@Letty,

There's not much in it, but I'd probably have to go to Nat King Cole. Diana Krall did a version of this too.
