Charlie Palloy - Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?, 1932

This song had a bit of a revival in the 60s.
If you can get a copy of the Chad Mitchell Trio's version of it, it too is worth a listen.

No no no no no you people have it all wrong.

Charlie Palloy got crosswise of the mob and went into hiding by joining the FBI. They changed his birthdate and his name. We know him best as Mark Felt aka "Deep Throat", a nickname he got from his habit of singing in the parking garage.

(Iriswigle, you have got to be out of your everlovin' mind. ;) )

This song is truly one of the great classics of that era and this is one of the better versions of it.
