Perry Como had his second number one hit of 1946 in August of that year, with a song that spent a single week atop the chart.

I own exactly one Taylor Swift song. This isn’t it.
But let me tell you about the song I do own. I don’t even know the name of it without looking it up. You see, I didn’t buy it.
Okay, I paid for it and it was purchased with my iTunes account, but I didn’t buy it.
Okay, here’s what happened. I was at my mother’s house, and my daughter and her family were visiting. It was around Christmas one year.
Her oldest boy liked to play with the Apple TV device and play music videos. Being young (he was three or four at the time) his attention span was usually confined to watching the previews of songs and movies (and for movies, usually movie trailers).
Every so often, though, he’d like to watch an actual movie … or at least more than a minute or two of a movie. Since my movie library is a lot larger than my mother’s, I logged in to my iTunes account on her Apple TV so the grandson could watch Polar Express, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph, or some other video.
Well, I didn’t bother to sign out when he was done watching. So, later when he started watching videos again, rather than playing the preview, he (unintentionally or otherwise) selected “Purchase” on the Apple TV for a Taylor Swift song he liked. I found out about this a day or two later when Apple sent me the receipt for the purchase.
Okay, $1.99 for a music video a grandson enjoyed is a small price. But, it did mean I owned a Taylor Swift video. I still one a Taylor Swift video. Just one. And, as I said earlier, this isn’t it.

The Ink Spots, who I mentioned last week, followed up that song with one of their biggest hits every. The Gypsy hit number one in May 1946 and stayed there until August, a total of ten weeks.

While James Taylor, in general, isn’t someone I care for, I do acknowledge his talent as a singer and songwriter.

Perry Como was the only artist who took “Prisoner of Love” to the top of the Billboard charts. My favorite version was the one by the Ink Spots, but Mr. Como did have the bigger hit version.

I only ever bought a couple of Van Halen records — don’t remember if they were vinyl, cassette, or CD — but did listen when the band came on the radio.
Yeah, a talented band featuring a talented guitarist. Just not one that I went out of my way to spend my few dollars on. Well, a lot of my few dollars, anyway.

Band leader Sammy Kaye was a saxophone and clarinet player, but he never featured himself playing either instrument on any of his records. He did feature a lot of different singers, including Betty Barclay, who helped take this song to number one in April 1946.

If you want to argue with someone in the south, and have some serious, could wind up on the news type of arguments, take contrary stands on college football, or on how to do barbecue.

The Kinks. They had some classic songs. They had some off the wall songs.
