Here's an amazing fact: The first one of his songs to be recorded was by Nat King Cole; the last - with dozens of other well-known artists recording his songs in between - was by Elvis Costello. How many people can top that?
I think that the Jerry Lewis telethon always ended with that song... that's another thing for the "kids will never know" thread. That telethon was always during the summer back in the time of basically 3 channels. Dearborn had public pools, and one of the lifeguards (who were high school kids) had to spend the night locked in the pool, but kids would always come to hang out. On the night of the telethon, there was always a watch party on the little black and white tv and tons of people would hang out all night. I don't think anyone really cared about MD, but it was fun watching for all the "WE JUST HIT$X!!!" announcements.Sad news indeed. No not just for some, but for everyone.
