The song, “It’s Been A Long, Long Time” hit number one in late 1945, three different times with two different versions. Harry James with Kitty Kallen took it to number one for two weeks in late November 1945 and again for a week in December. We featured that a couple of years ago. But Bing Crosby and Les Paul also took it to number one in December 1945.

Add one “Long,” and you’ve got an interesting Beatles song from the White Album.
Not one I liked, much, but made a perfect foil to the out-there rocking songs on the album.
Les Paul and Chet Atkins made 2 albums together. Both a well worth a listen. Two consumate pros playing off each other.
Never mind that music…what about the Covid Virus as envisioned by Mayor De Blasio’s omnipresent secret snitches???………. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfGAktuU93s
