Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Beethoven's setting of Schiller's Ode To Joy as climax of his Ninth Symphony

Cole Porter's Miss Otis Regrets

The Battle Of Harlaw

Irving Berlin's Always

Greensleeves

The Fox as sung by Burl Ives

Ditto as sung by The Young Tradition ················

USW·&c&c·and so forth to the power of ∞
