Not that I personally remember when they were first popular, but here are some more 'Monday Songs':
This is one of the most unusual #1 song stories ever. You see, "Stormy Monday Blues" was a #1 R&B hit in 1942 by jazz greats Earl "Fatha" Hines and Billy Eckstein. But the song "Stormy Monday" or "They Call It Stormy Monday," written by blues guitar legend T-Bone Walker and first recorded in 1947, is a much more famous and covered song, and has come to be known as "Stormy Monday Blues." While both are structurally blues compositions, they are not the same song at all. http://ezinearticles.com/?They-Call-Them-Both-Stormy-Monday&id=445018 RS On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Beth Benoit <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know what happened to the text part of this post, but it was > supposed to say that it was Karen Carpenter who sang, "Rainy days and > Mondays always get me down," and it was the Mamas and the Papas who sang, > "Monday, Monday." > > Hope this one goes through.... > Beth > > On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Beth Benoit <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Showing-My-Age Beth Benoit >> Granite State College >> Plymouth State University >> New Hampshire >> >> On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 11:03 AM, Dr. Bob Wildblood <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> As part of his discourse on the "new" wave of research on the FGHI, Mike >>> Palij wrote: >>> >>> "Mondays aren't so hot either but the Boomtown Rats told us that years >>> ago." >>> >>> And the Mammas and the Pappas told us long before most people, if any >>> ever heard of the Boomtown Rats, "Rainy days and Mondays always get me >>> down." and also give a gloomy out look on "Monday, Monday."
