November 20: The streets of town were paved with stars… “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square” written in 1939 with lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin. This version is by The Manhattan Transfer and, thanks to the Swinging ‘Gates of Colgate University, this is my favorite version of the song. If you want to sing along with a lyric video, here’s a good karaoke version. LYRICS SPOTIFY
