1955: NYC radio station WINS 1010 AM, then home base of that rascal Alan Freed, announces that they will never play white artists' insipid, watered-down covers of songs by black artists.
(Apparently they do not go so far as to add that "Pat Boone can just go out and get a REAL job.")
"Don't Forget Me", released 8/19/74, on Harry Nilsson and John Lennon's album, "Pussycats"
Ms. Faithfull's version comes from her live album "20th Century Blues" - Although the weird little preamble about how Harry supposedly died was added to the video, I'd guess as a tribute to Nilsson's own absurdist sense of humor.
