5. ME AND MY CHAUFFEUR – MEMPHIS MINNIE (1953 VERSION)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LG0hLnkNPw

Did not have this. I got a copy now, but I don't see it as being up
there in this neighborhood. A 6 at best for me.

"Diff'rent strokes......". We have similar tastes much of the time but
sometimes they diverge. And sometimes big time! If they didn't there'd

Surprised the flip side did not make it.

What are you talking about?? The flip side doesn't "make it" on your own
list (I assume your picks are listed in order of preference? ). "How Can
You Leave
A Man Like This" would be #28 on an extended femmes list of mine
