  1. I do love Fats! Is there supposed to be a video clip with this?

    All together--acapella--fellow Fats fans. "I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill. On Blueberry Hill my dreams came true."

    1. Definitely, Bonnie. I don't know what happened. The video is back, and I hope to stay this time.

  2. Thanks for this. I really needed to hear that song. Has a special savor for me, because I can hardly express how much I loathed and abominated it in those long gone days when it was wildly popular.
    A good song now. It seems to have mellowed over the decades. Or something.

    1. Porlock, the song was a nice slow-dance track from the old jukebox. I liked slow-dancing back in the day. In fact, I still do.

  3. Have always loved the "thrill" he got on Blueberry Hill. We didn't really say it back the, but we knew what he was talking about. I like that better..

    1. David, so many of the songs from the 50s had naughty, double-entendre lyrics, and there I was an innocent convent school girl listening to the filth. Still, the songs were double entendre, and I fooled myself into thinking the songs were about the innocent entendre...if you know what I mean. Of course, I well knew the songs were not for home-listening.

    2. Never forget and still have "Work with Me Annie" and "Sixty Minute Man" and quite a few others...

    3. Lucky you. I could not have the songs in my house then, but I have them all on my computer now.

  4. My father heard me playing "Annie"--came in my room and broke it and threw it in the trash.. I bought another the next day and played it at a lower volume..

    1. That's exactly what would have happened in my house, David. Buying another would have done no good because the record player was in the living room, and I could only have played the music when I was home alone.
