    Thanks for posting. A funny scene from one of my favorite Christmas season movies of all time, Susan Slept Here (1953). Also, my favorite Don Cornell recording, too.

    @CatsPjamas, Thanks for the reply. The song is a track on Don's Album/CD

    "Swinging for Two" if you have it! Someone posted it a few years ago, but recently removed it. Many thanks, really enjoy the music & looking forward to more from the 1950's.

    ROGER WILLIAMS - "Born Free" (1966)

    This song and the movie of the same title were so popular in 1966 that it gives one perspective of how dramatically society has changed (for the wo...

    mwhalen54 mwhalen54 commented:

    I remember the first time I ever heard this magnificent song (on a Motorola transitor radio) back in 1966, a beautiful late summer day and my whole life still ahead of me, too! I bought the record (45 rpm) for about for 89 cents a few days later. Played it many times over. I really liked KAPP re...

    She Is Still a Mystery - Lovin' Spoonful

    Off of their album "Everything Playing"

    mwhalen54 mwhalen54 commented:

    Great song & memories for me from the autumn of 1967! Agree, one of the most under rated pop music recordings ever. Should have stayed on the charts well into '68 & hit the Top 10. Heard them do it live back in the late 90's. BTW, I still have my copy of that album, "Everything Playing" & its st...

    * A Strange Song - Harry Belafonte

    And the strange part is that the song is not more notorious, it is beautiful !!

    *** Thanks for featuring this video!

    mwhalen54 mwhalen54 commented:

    The last time I heard this song was on a beautiful autumn afternoon in 1967! It seems like yesterday. The late 50's & 60's are the most memorable years of my life, which has gone so quickly that time itself becomes so irrelevant. The music of that era is still so much a part of me. Thanks for pos...
