Long live the Prince of Paoli
I grew up with Marques and knew he'd be a star from the moment he got his first Jim Croce album. See ya' there!

I've enjoyed Marcus' open mic at the Union back in the day, and the success with MB&ET.
I will be there to support him and his family.

This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
