Peggy Lee recorded “The Freedom Train” with Johnny Mercer, Benny Goodman, and Margaret Whiting in 1947. The song was written by Irving Berlin and given as gift to the US Heritage Foundation. The lyrics are very modern. Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga should re-record it. Happy Fourth of July weekend!

To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too.
