Friday Music and a Bonus

This happens to be one of my favorite tunes from the 1960s and would include it in my Top 100 list if I ever get around to compiling it.

Aside from being an American Bandstand throw-back it includes bonus material.

An advertisement for Bic pens and an appearance from Alan Kalter - pitch man from David Letterman's Late Show.

And there is further evidence that white men can't dance.....

From my personal Top Ten list of tunes this song was composed by Wayne Carson and recorded by the Box Tops in 1967.  The Letter was the group's first and biggest hit.  It rose to number one in the United States and Canada and made the Top Ten in any number of other countries. 

It holds a place at number 372 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
