1. Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters - "A You're Adorable" is a popular song with music by Sid Lippman and lyrics by Buddy Kaye and Fred Wise, published in 1948. My father sang this song to me when I was very young. in later years it became known as the "Alphabet Song." Have you heard this song before?

2. A Dreamer's Holiday · Willie Nelson; "A Dreamer's Holiday" was composed by Mabel Wayne with lyrics by Kim Gannon. It was published in 1949. Hit versions of the song were recorded by Perry Como and Buddy Clark. This is one of my favorite songs. I would always make sure the Sheet Music was on the piano, so my father would play it and sing to me. I learned the words so we could sing it together! Have you heard this song before?

3. "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)" is a popular song published in 1949, with music written by Carl Sigman and lyrics by Herb Magidson. My father played this with a peppy beat. I was delighted when it appeared in Woody Allen's film "Everyone Says I Love You" Have you...?

4. Andy Williams - Pearl Bailey perform........."Give Me The Simple Life." This 1945 song written by Rube Bloom (music) and Harry Ruby (lyrics). It was introduced in the 1946 film "Wake Up and Dream." I always liked this song, it speaks of being content with the basic things in life. Have you heard this song before?

5. Peggy Lee performing "Mañana. Take a trip to 'Ma؜ñana,' Peggy's biggest hit in the first phase of her solo career, recorded for Capitol on November 25, 1947. At the age of 27, it became her first #1 hit on Billboard's Best-Seller chart which she wrote with then husband, David Barbour, while in Mexico. "Mañana prolongs people's lives, and can be an inspiration for us," After I learned this song, I found Manana a very useful term! Peggy shared about the song's meaning. Have you heard this song before?

6. The Chordettes - Mr Sandman (Live 1958) "Mister Sandman" is a popular song written by Pat Ballard and published in 1954. It was first recorded in May of that year by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra and later that year by The Chordettes and the Four Aces. I really enjoy this song, it is so uplifting.
