I'm blanking on the name of this one-hit-wonder, but it was played endlessly on KFOG (after Alice broke it several months before) when it was a hit. One of those records that has disappeared in recent years.

Nah.


Bet that shows up in between songs.  The late great Elmer Bernstein wrote that & (from IMDb, not mshray's copious memory of Oscar trivia) it wasn't even among his 15 nominations spanning SIX decades.

Actually, no. Per numerous online sourcs, it was written by one Lieutenant F.J. Alford, a bandmaster in the Royal Marines, and published under the pseudonym of Kenneth Alford.
