rooting around in the music library last night, listenin' to Van's
outrageous cover and it made me wonder about the song, "It's All in
the Game." I found this tidbit on Song Facts:

The only #1 hit ever written by a US Vice President. It was composed
in 1912 as "Melody in A Major" by then-banker Charles Gates Dawes, who
became VP under Calvin Coolidge in 1925.

could you find me all the cover artists for this song from the
mid-60's forward.  I'm hoping for at least 10 (but whatever you can
find is fine).

thank you much!
