I would have been about 18 or 19 at the time so 1968 or 1969. Can't find a reference anywhere on the web to confirm this. Maybe my memory is cross connected to another one but I do remember laughing my face off seeing this elderly political statesman sitting in a recording studio on a stool singing "Wild Thing" with a very deep voice and heavy glasses like I wore. Definitely not Bill Minkin who did the vocal on this record. Not sure who the interviewer might have been but Harry Reasoner comes to mind. Senator Dirksen died September 7 1969 so perhaps done before that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
