"Episode #31, Whatever Happened to Moby Dick? aired on October 22, 1971"
By the end of that year, the importation of whale oil, which was then used in transmission fluid, was banned in the US. Within a few years, there was an epidemic of simultaneous cooling-system/transmission failures in (particularly GM)cars with the new fluid in their automatic transmissions. So if you had a GM car both overheat and fall our of gear in the mid '70s, at least you can say it happened for a good cause.

I'm a male and I'll admit this song can bring a tear to your eyes!It's not so much the lyrics to me as it is the melancholic musical arrangement!This is one of my "emotional release"songs!I'm sure Shirley Jones can still belt this out just as beautifully 40 years later!
Such a beautiful song.Thanks for posting!
