In the '60s, in New York, at least, there was a public service commercial about tolerance that used that song.

Chobani's pineapple and mango flavors are great. I prefer it to Fage.

Because R&B had a meaning for many years that has nothing to do with the music the term is now being used to describe. It seems to have come out of left field by the industry. So what do we now call artists who play classic rhythm and blues style like, say, Roomful of Blues?

And if you want to get rid of the commercials on Pandora, and a higher streaming bitrate, it's $3 a month.

I hate that the term R&B has been co-opted for contemporary black pop music. We now have to say the full "rhythm and blues" to avoid confusion. I think I'd probably date the classic R&B period as roughly from Louis Jordan's Tympani Five recordings to the emergence of James Brown & Sam Cooke, when we can start talking about "soul music."

The Napster name was eventually bought for a legal streaming service similar to Spotify. When Spotify launched in the U.S. Napster threw in the towel and merged with Rhapsody. Now, after 10 or so years, Rhapsody has about 1 million subscribers, about 40% of which came from the Napster merger. Spotify after about 3 years has 2.5 million subscribers. If you really can't stand the ads (and who wants a condom ad between movements of a Beethoven symphony?) you can pay $5 a month for computer streaming only, and for $10 a month you can also have it on multiple mobile devices and save tracks for offline listening. I'm now a premium subscriber and I have tracks saved on my Kindle Fire and iPod Touch.

And, as far as I know, he wrote the only popular song lyric that's a pantoum. http://www.allmusicals.com/lyrics/flowerdrumsong/iamgoingtolikeithere.htm I know his grandson Andy. http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2010-12-16/oscar-andrew-hammerstein-hammersteins/transcript My four favorite GAS lyricists might be Hart, Harburg, Mercer & Ira Gershwin.

I believe the Henderson version would have been earlier.

I have a Bill Henderson version. But it's on a compilation.

Hey, if it weren't for that bastard there'd be no Regis.

More than a sprinkling of Scotch, to be sure.

IIRC, the joint was rocking. What a crazy sound!

Thankfully they cut the scene with a sprinkling BY Nazis.

I'm rather partial to nuns in Venetian blinds.
