We mentioned that last weekend was the one
year anniversary of the passing of Jimy Rogers, lead singer of The
Mauds.
We've featured Jimy's version of the
Christmas Classic "White Christmas" previously in Forgotten Hits ... and this
seemed like a great time to feature it again.
We'll also feature one of MY personal
favorites, "I Lose It When I Hear 'White Christmas'", a song written by our FH
Buddy Artie Wayne and Toni Wine ... and sung by Tony Orlando. (Now HERE'S a
song that radio ought to be playing ... they don't come much finer than this
one!)
And, speaking of Artie Wayne, he's got another great offer for our Forgotten Hits Readers today.
