Monday Music: Chicken Fat (Robert Preston)

In the 1960s, local stations were inventing morning television, and no one did it better than Tom York in Birmingham, Alabama on WBRC 6.  Tom York's Morning Show used to play "Chicken Fat," the official song for President Kennedy's youth fitness program.

Last week came the news of Tom York's passing at the age of 96.  I hope his family doesn't mind my digging up the Robert Preston recording that his show once featured many a morning as they encouraged folks to get up and move.
