You know, you're right. I can't get that song out of my head! JLaw, it's all your fault!

That sounds right. At least I think he wrote it and may have been the first to record it.

Yep, and it appears several others did too. I shot my mouth off too quickly; I can't recall who sang it in the mid-60's. Oh well, I guess this is a good lesson in life; the youngsters don't know and we old farts can't remember.

I bet you youngsters can't tell me who sang that one, much less when.
