Do You Know The Way To San Jose? - Dionne Warwick

Yes, Dionne, I know the way to San Jose.

From LA, get on the "great big freeway" known as the San Bernardino Freeway, or Interstate 10, proceed east all the way to I-19, then veer right. Continue south as I-19 becomes Rte. 15. At Tepic, turn right on Rte 200, which becomes Rte. 1 at Malacatán.

Try to arrive at Malacatán at mealtime, so you can have Chinese food at the popular Jade Occidental restaurant. After your meal, continue along Rte. 1 to San Cristóbal Totonicapán and turn right on CA 1. Stay on CA 1 all the way to San Jose.

Nice version. I enjoyed the original lyrics. An interesting bit of trivia about ‘Avalon’ is that Puccini’s estate sued Al Jolson and won, for copyright infringement for too much similarity to the great Puccini aria “E Lucevan e stelle” from the opera “Tosca”. And while it’s true that the first 8 notes are identical (at least in pitch, not rhythm) the songs are so different that it’s hard to believe anyone would confuse the two.

This was a case, IMO, of overzealousness on the part of the plaintiff and ultimately the judge. I doubt Puccini would have been so petty had he been alive at the time.
