Route 66, Diana with Natalie, just fantastic

I was following Diana further and found that she sung with Natalie Cole. Hey this is something I cannot miss. That apply you as well. 'Cause they are fabulous. Just fantastic!

You remember Route 66, the TV series? Oh, no. I should ask you "Do you know Route 66, a TV series?" instead. That was the America I was dreaming of. Martin Milner and George Maharis stared in. Above all the Corvette was the dream car at the time.

If you surf to find that TV series on line, the series run 1960-64. I was in college. It was broadcast in Japan. It was the dawn of TV entertainment here. I had to fight to watch it. Parents wanted to watch some boring news program, y'know.

I am not sure if the tune has been the theme music of the program. But I remember Nat King Cole sings Route 66 along with his trio.

Those were the years I enjoyed living. 50 years ago now, I can't believe it. Where are those TV stars like guys on 77 Sunset Strip, Rawhide, Man from UNCLE, The Fugitive etc etc. . . . .
