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

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

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

Manfred Mann also did a good version of it.

RIP.  94 is a good run.
