EXCELLENT JOB MR. DAVE !!!
NO BIRTHDAYS, SO HERE WE GO
No long bio's today. There is no way to disguise this legendary singer, and I won't even try. Known at various time through a long, illustrious career as "The Voice", "The Chairman of The Board" and "Old Blue Eyes", his place in the Hallowed Halls of music greatness is secure. Today's song is one he sang at least twice, once as a band singer and later for his own record company. It's a standard, written in 1924 and sung by just about everybody since. It's one of my absolute favorites. And your Mystery Lyric is:
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The singer is easy, but there will be a bonus for those who can name the person who sings with him. Of course, he's been featured before, but you can send whatever you want about the other person.
Thanks, Sev
