A. AND YOU SMILED - 1973

It's hard to believe that Matt did not have a hit for over 10 years before he died.
He recorded "If I Never Sing Another Song" in 1977, but it never charted, even thought it's on my Top 10 songs by Matt!

I think I am correct, so I will ask a question....

Q. What country is the world's largest manufacturer of Bicycles?
Henry H Puccinelli
