4. With a job like the majority of Americans have, we could sing and act out this song five days a week. It helps the day go by more quickly.

7. The singer, a very big presence in the US some 70 years ago, was also a highly acclaimed actor, a champion athlete (he played in the NFL) and a political activist whose positions were highly controversial at the time.

It's nearly "Paul Robeson: Ol' Man River" ... it even has the apostrophe - but there's no "M" in it?

You're right, alexaherself! How could I have made such a mistake! :eek:

It is indeed OL' MAN RIVER/ PAUL ROBESON.
My apologies!


Nice unscrambling, alexaherself, despite my ineptitude. It is now your turn to give us a scramble, and I'm sure you'll do better than I did.

:e2seesaw:

NIXON IN CHINA / JOHN ADAMS

Very nice, Nymtoc. ("Ariadne On Naxos" didn't quite fit, though the "X" was attractive!).
