This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing. We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.
The first single to officially be awarded a Gold Record was Perry Como’s “Catch a Falling Star.” The first album to receive the award was the soundtrack to the film version of “Oklahoma.”
“Uncopyrightable” is one of the two longest words in the English language that is composed of entirely different letters.
These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).

I love Perry Como’s “Catch a Falling Star”… It’s on my list of “Favorites” when I ask Alexa to play that collection. I never knew it was the first record to be labeled “Gold.” Thanks for that interesting tidbit!

I still listen to a Perry Como tune once in awhile. His voice is one of the smoothest ever.

“Catch a Falling Star” still is a favorite. I grew up with it, and with Perry Como, and I still know the lyrics.
