Monday Morning, Nat King Cole tells his story. Lots of versions of this song from Frank Sinatra to Johnny Mathis to Linda Ronstadt, but my favorite by far is Nat King Cole’s version. No pyrotechnics, just pure and simple singing with tasteful accompaniment.
I was surprised to see who wrote this song!

Reina del Cid, Toni Lindgren, Sarah Morris, and Andrew Foreman do justice with this cover of Carole King’s song for the Chiffons.

In preparation for this labor-day weekend, I thought it might be fun to watch and rewatch a bunch of labour-related films, in particular those that highlight union or workplace struggles. Well, I am somewhat bleary eyed from my home film fest, but I am going to focus on a half dozen of the films that I most enjoyed.

From Animal Crackers, Chico and Harpo have an amazing run of luck at cards.
