Subject: RE: Common poems set to music
Danny Doyle sang The Highwayman
Burl Ives did The Wandering of Old Aengus
Leonard Warren did a whole album of Kipling song/poems -- I think the album was called Rolling Down to Rio and was recorded in the 50s.
The Irish Rovers did Winken, Blinken, and Nod.
I have all of these on old lps, at least 20 years old, and some 50 years old, and remember them because I recently copied them to cds.
