The #1 song from 50 years ago was Three Dog Night’s “Black & White”. ________________________ Black & White Songwriters: Earl Robinson and David Arkin

The ink is black, the page is white Together we learn to read and write A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight A beautiful sight

And now a child can understand That this is the law of all the land All the land

The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light To see the light

And now, at last, we plainly see We'll have a dance of liberty Liberty

The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight A beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light To see the light

The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight A beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white Together they grow to see the light To see the light

C'mon Get it Get it Ohh-ohhhh yeah Yeah Keep it up now, around the world Little boys and little girls Yeah

Frank Sinatra was born 105 years ago today on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey. Here is a 1974 performance of “This House I Live In” at Madison Square Garden. This song was written by Abel Meeropol who also wrote Billie Holiday’s song “Strange Fruit”.  Sinatra first performed the song in the 1946 short film also called “This House I Live” which exhorts the message of religious tolerance and post-war hopefulness. The original short film is posted by the Library of Congress and can be watched here. _______________________________ This House I Live Music by Earl Robinson; Music by Abel Meeropol

What is America to me? A name, a map, or a flag I see? A certain word, "democracy"? What is America to me? The house I live in, a plot of earth, a street The grocer and the butcher, and the people that I meet The children in the playground, the faces that I see All races and religions, that's America to me The place I work in, the worker by my side The little town or city where my people lived and died The "howdy" and the handshake, the air of feeling free And the right to speak my mind out, that's America to me The things I see about me, the big things and the small The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall The wedding in the churchyard, the laughter and the tears The dream that's been a-growin' for a hundred and fifty years The town I live in, the street, the house, the room The pavement of the city, or a garden all in bloom The church, the school, the clubhouse, the millions lights I see But especially the people That's America to me
