Musical Monday

Back when I was doing my radio show*, I had a theme for each program. One of the themes I used was "Same Title, Different Song," as opposed to different covers of the same song by different artists. For today's Musical Monday, here's a sample from my "Same Title, Different Song" playlist, featuring two songs titled "Operator" ... first, the classic by Jim Croce; then the very different "Operator" done a few years later by Manhattan Transfer. I loved both songs, each of them great in its own way. Here's Jim Croce to lead off ...

... and here's Manhattan Transfer ...

A related song was the 1984 hit "Smooth Operator" by Sade, but since the title wasn't exactly the same, I didn't include it. It's a great song also, and I'll feature it on a future Musical Monday.

Have a good day. Operators are standing by. More thoughts tomorrow.
