...dance but twitched spasmodically on their way to the bar--once three or four of them went out into the street in the comforting warmth of the Florida night and danced deliberately. "You want to hear some good music--not all this crap," the girl barked, turning on Frank Sinatra, greeted by the others as if he were a Bob Dylan piercing the night like a prophet. "Cheri," "Spanish Eyes," a strikingly syncopated version of "Three Coins." Strange to tell it was the most beautiful music session I have experienced in a long time.

He released it as a single, and Everybody Loves Somebody carried Martin to the top of the bestseller charts for the first time in two years.

Worse, they are seen only in black and white, and are not strictly first-run (last week's offerings included Frank Sinatra in The Detective). In earlier days, WHCT was more venturesome.
