Song of the Day: October 11

October 11: To try, when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star… “The Impossible Dream (The Quest)” from “The Man of LaMancha” with lyrics by Joe Darion, and music by Mitch Leigh.  The song is sung here by Andy Williams.  Looking forward to seeing the show at the Westport Country Playhouse; I hear they’ve done an incredible job with it!  LYRICS  SONGFACTS SPOTIFY

Song of the Day: October 2

October 2:  My paternal grandmother was born on this day in 1910 and I imagine this song being played on the radio when she was a little girl: “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” with music by Leo Friedman and lyrics by Beth Slater Whitson and sung here by Patti Page.  (Though my great-grandparents probably heard it sung by Henry Burr and the Peerless Quartet.) LYRICS & SONG HISTORY SPOTIFY
