If I asked you to name one male singer, singer, not a group,
could you think of a male singer of the day that you like?
Uh, Dion.
Alright.
Dion, of Dion and the Belmonts type?
Yes.
That's going back a few years.
Can you think of anybody currently?
No.
Can you?
A single male vocalist?
No.
Can you?
Um, no.
No?
Do you think of [C] any male vocalists around that you like today?
Nobody.
[Bb] Isn't that wild?
Frank Sinatra.
A man gets desperate and [N] says a fellow who's been popular for many years.
Still is.
Giant, of course.
But in days gone [Eb] by, you could get a favorite male and a favorite female.
I think we ended last week's show with the favorites of the day.
There were Laverne Baker and Patti Page,
and a K-star were the females they mentioned.
This [G] fellow had a hit record in 1957.
He's had [F] many hit records in the 10, 12 years since then and before.
And this is about two weeks before Christmas.
The year was 1957.
[Eb] See if you recognize the song and the man.
He's still a giant.
The King.
[Bb]
[Db] [E] Christmas [B] without you
I'll be so blue
Just thinking of [E] you
Decorations of [E] red on [A] a green
[Gb] Won't be the same dear
If [B] you're not here with [Bb] me
And the [E] blue snowflakes [B] start falling
That's when those blue memories [E] start falling
[G]
You'll be dew with [A] your green mother [Bbm] white
But [B] I'll have a blue, [G]
blue, blue, [E] green, green, blue

Those were the days when people knew about Kenny Rossi and Arlene Sullivan.
I saw Justine and Bob and people still today ask how are they, where they are,
and what they're doing and so forth.
I hear occasionally.
[Gb] And today's a memory day for those of you who tuned in late.
The [Ab] second anniversary sort of situation where we've done two weekends of it
