[78-L] Help identifying an artist/tune

[David Lennick]

Since Bud Black identified AND heard it, I think we're in agreement. I know the 
record and there's no rule that says the title of a song or poem actually has 
to be part of the lyric. The description and partial title was all I 
needed..this is a well known piece of corn and any hip DJ would have made fun 
of it. "Why I Love You" is identified on the label, as I recall, along with the 
source (Tony Wons Scrapbook).
