Every Labor Day, without fail, I would watch the end of the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon on TV just to see Newark's Jerry Lewis sing "The Song" and I would wait for him to cry. It just doesn't seem like Labor Day without "The Song." "You'll Never Walk Alone," from the Rodgers and Hammerstein 1945 Broadway musical Carousel, has been covered by Patti LaBelle, Sinatra, Streisand, Elvis, Aretha, Judy Garland, Nina Simone, Dionne Warwick, The Righteous Brothers, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Barry Manilow, Ray Charles, Perry Como, Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Olivia Newton-John, Doris Day, Mario Lanza, Pat Boone and Glen Campbell but none of 'em cried. It enters The Hot 100 at #74.
