Goodnight Irene

Aug 26, 2008

From Wikipedia:

The recording by The Weavers was recorded in New York City on May 26, 1950 and released by Decca Records as catalog number 27077. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on June 30, 1950 and lasted 25 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.

On the day I was born, it was still at #1, and that seems like a million years ago.
