True, I guess only "Joey, Joey, Joey" remained with me, as that's his only real standout solo.

Oh, even Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz swoon over Art Lund's singing "Don't Cry" on an episode of "I Love Lucy" (the one where Lucy forgot she bought tickets to a matinee, so she and Ethel are supposed to only see the first act and Fredy and Ricky the second). Of course, in the original show, it was in three acts! I think you also hear some of "Standing on the Corner" and maybe "Big D" as well.

I think I read somewhere that Ball and Arnaz were investors in the original production of "The Most Happy Fella" and gave it some free publicity via their show.

At Broadway by the Year last Monday evening, host/creator Scott Siegel told the audience about Ball and Arnaz's investment in the show. I remember seeing that episode numerous times in repeats.
