My parents gave me their Greatest Hits tape with my first radio cassette player for my 13th birthday. I loved playing it and singing along, so I still recall most of their hits.

Token 2: The Mamas and The Papas, Spanish Harlem

“There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem,
It is a special one,
It’s never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming.”

I didn’t mean to be unfair to the host, Michael, it was an unintentional slip, and, as I say, I had very little spare time that day, but had realised thatI’d have a brief window shortly after 11 to join in the jukebox.

Thanks. It reminds me more of Sarah Vaughan’s version of Lullaby of Birdland

Ella & Louis - Autumn in New York (HD)
Ella & Louis - Autumn in New York (HD) YouTube video by JazzMusicHD

Token 2: The first time I noticed Ella Fitzgerald’s voice was singing Autumn In New York with Louis Armstrong at my Uncle Jack’s.

After that, I’d always ask him to play her singing - and have bought and loved her music ever since

I had very little time, Michael, so I just dived in (as I am wont to do sometimes) and the kind host allowed me to keep my songs as they were

Thank you. Loathe to replace it though, so I’ll leave it as is, thank you

A professional comedian is often called a comic, and described as so comical, so I thought you were referring to that. I suspect some others might too.

May I respectfully suggest accepting both meanings, to make a more varied jukebox?

Yes, and CBS recorded it, but it was quickly squashed due to the racism of the time. They didn’t want Ella to be another target.

One of the few songs Ella wrote, provoked by the assassination of Martin Luther King, in which she appeals for peace.

Yes, I think he sings it so well, but the talking was a surprise to me and made it seem so much more dated than the Ella and Louis, to me at least!
