I loved the way Oscar Hammerstein II was so far ahead of his time regarding social issues.
This is one of my favorites
A bit of an overlooked gem. Okay, it’s more of girlie thing I suppose, but not necessarily limited that gender. Nice concert presentation with quiet, competent instrumental backing.
My Dad drove semi for several decades, this was one of my favorite songs growing up.
About a year ago my son came walking up the stairs with his air pods in singing the Sinatra version of this song. It was awesome.

I posted that to my FB page 5 days ago.
And the movie version, starring Kris Kristofferson.
