He was a very prolific songwriter in his era. My folks used to like him very much.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

I liked his songs. Through drum corps I learned to like many songs. Also Sergio Mendes.

My favorite version. I heard them live once.

Yeah, my folks liked him too, but I think my father liked Sinatra better...

I've always liked this song.

Manfred Mann also did a good version of it.

RIP.  94 is a good run.
