Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Deaths: The Birds and the Bees

JEWEL AKENS, 79

Died March 1st. 

He was in a group called the Turnarounds when they were offered a song about the "birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above--and a thing called _____."  The others in his band didn't want to have anything to do with it, so he recorded it solo.

That song went to #3 in1965, his only hit.  He continued to play music into his 70s.

Maybe I have to go to You Tube for you know what.
