After feeling slighted by Stalin at the Yalta Conference, Churchill sang a few stances of this song. To break the tension, FDR told Stalin’s interpreter to say that Churchill’s singing was Britain’s secret weapon in the war.

My grandparents gave me a Phil Harris LP in the '50s, but the lyrics on this song were a bit different. I recall a line ending with something like "Her feet were big and her hands were clammy, and that's what I like about the South."

Not only are these records entertaining, but several reflect social & political history. Talking antiques indeed. Have tried playing Pathes electrically using a ball stylus, but sometimes the pick up skates across the record. Fortunately, my Marathon gramophone is dual standard, so given the right stylus, plays them with no trouble.

I heard Charlie Gracie in Coventry in 1957, great singer, I worked at the hotel where he and his father stayed during his stay in Coventry, and I was lucky to meet them both and Charlie gave me his autograph, his birthday was in may 1936 he was only 2 month older than I. Thank you charlie for many lovely songs. Inge (Denmark)

@@OldiesAl I can't go into detail, obviously, but the author has mentioned several old songs in the book. I was double-checking the titles for accuracy (because it's what I do) and this little gem came up. I think it's the song he had in mind, but I've flagged it for him to make sure.

"I am a Japanese.Robert Kennedy has also passed away, as well as his friend Andy Williams. I have lived with Andy's songs for half a century, and thinking about the emotions he put into singing this song is incredibly sad. Just recently, there was another attempt on the life of an American politician. How long will America continue to experience assassinations of its politicians?"
