wonderful presentation, i am a huge fan of Louie!
I loved the song he sang in a James Bond movie We Have All the Time in the World
my favorite performance of his was with Carol Channing in Auntie Mame!
I’ll have to look that one up, Doc
It is one of his best performances! Also him and Channing in Hello Dolly!
Kiss were the biggest fools I knew, but they were good … I liked them
I really like the song “What a wonderful world”
I love Rock and Roll music! Your forgot to mention The Beatles! The most famous group of all time!
This is a post of just what were the top things in music that happened on this day Rachael I am sure The Beatles will be mentioned at some time
