Song of the Day: This
Christmas features the words and music of Nadine
McKinnor and Donny Hathaway. Check out Donny
Hathaway's very smooth rendition on YouTube. And a very Merry
Christmas to all!
Song of the Day: Just
a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody is a classic medley of two songs, the
first adapted by Irving
Caesar from a Casucci-Brammer Austrian
song, and the
latter credited to Spencer
Williams and Roger
Graham. It was performed with wild wit by the great Sicilian American
jazz man, Louis
Prima, the centennial of whose birth was celebrated on 7 December
2010. Check out this
YouTube moment featuring the original recording, with Keely
Smith, poppin' saxman Sam
Butera, and Prima's
Sicilian-tinged scatting. Also check out David
Lee Roth's faithful paean to Prima.
Song of the Day: Only
Girl (In the World), written by Crystal
Johnson, Stargate,
and Sandy
Vee, is the lead single from Rihanna's
new album, "Loud."
Check out the official
video for this Billboard #1
Hot 100 dance scorcher.
