Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Though I somehow do not
remember this song at all, I thought
I'd use it today.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yPzcHu4TVI - Long Lonely Nights - Lee Andrews & the Hearts, 1957
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Andrews_%26_the_Hearts:
| Lee Andrews & the Hearts was a
doo-wop
quintet from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US, formed in 1953. They recorded on the
Gotham, Rainbow, Mainline,
Chess,
United Artists, Grand and Gowen labels. Managed by
Kae Williams, in 1957 and 1958 they had their three biggest hits,
"Teardrops", "Long Lonely Nights" and "Try the Impossible". The group
consisted of Lee Andrews (lead), Roy Calhoun (first tenor), Tammey
Currey (second tenor), Ted Weems (baritone) and Wendell Calhoun (bass).[1] Lee Andrews was born (1938) Arthur Lee Andrews Thompson, at Goldsboro, North Carolina. Questlove, drummer and producer for the Grammy Award-winning hip-hop group The Roots, is Lee Andrews' son, and cites growing up with doo-wop as a major influence in his music.[2] |

FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 04/08/14:
| One day a rich famous man went to
buy a sport car from a dealership. The price of the car was $80,000 and
the man had only $79,998 to pay. The sales associate insisted that the price was firm and it had to be $80,000. The man came out of the store and looked around and saw a poor man begging for help. He went toward him and introduced himself and asked if he was kind enough to lend him $2. The poor man asked the reason. He replied that he wanted to buy a car. The poor man thought for a moment and gave the man $4 and said, "Please buy one for me, too." |
