Bright Moments Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 can anyone help me find a recording of this song? (cd or mp3 is fine) thanks. (btw it was written by someone who made nat king cole famous! ) Two brothers on their way One wore blue One wore gray as they marched along their way a fife and a drum began to play' All on a beautiful morning One was gentle One was kind Cannonball don't pay no mind or your gentle - or your kind nor think of the folks you left behind All on a beautiful morning Two girls waitin by the railroad track one wore blue and one wore black waitin there by the railroad track for their darlins to come back All on a beautiful morning Quote
medjuck Posted October 11, 2005 Report Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Do you remember who sang it? The Highwaymen? I just looked it up on AMG. There are versions available by harry Belafonte, The Weavers, Rod McKuen!!!And Tom Jones!!! It's written by Irving Gordon. What does he have to do with Nat Cole?

What does he have to do with Nat Cole? ← Irving Gordon, a composer and lyricist whose work includes the song Unforgettable, the Nat King Cole hit, the lyrics to Prelude to a Kiss, the Ellington standard. As perhaps his most memorable entry into the public consciousness, Irving Gordon wrote Abbot and Costello's famous "Who's on First" routine. Quote
