Woke up this morning with music on my mind. For the senior citizens amongst us, how about this, “Cruising Down the River on a Sunday Afternoon” #1 song on the Billboard magazine on February 18, 1949.

The flip side of the record was also a hit, “Sunflower” reached #10 on the chart.
Several other artists released it over the years, including Connie Francis on her 1959 “My Thanks to You” album.
