For a song that's not a single, that's not commercially available, that's not even out for another three months, a lot of people sure do know Taylor Swift's "Fearless." As I note in a story for USA Today, if you search for the words "taylor," "swift" and "fearless" at YouTube, you'll get results showing nearly 100 aspiring singers who've already learned the song, covered it and made their own videos. I counted more than 80 this morning, but I probably missed some.
To save you the time of searching for them all, I'm posting them here. Have fun.

Sunday Morning Gospel: The Swanee Quintet
Roundabout way to this performance: I first learned this Charles Tindley song on a Washington Phillips collection that T-Bone Burnett recommended to me. I've since heard Vince Gill perform it, and it's now being used, via a Lilly Brothers recording, in a commercial for Blue Bell Ice Cream.
The Swanee Quintet started in Augusta, Georgia, in 1940. Fellow Augusta native James Brown helped popularize the group, a version of which continues to perform today.

Sunday Morning Gospel: The Trumpeteers
One of my favorite gospel tunes, "Milky White Way" (I first learned it from Elvis Presley's version). The Trumpeteers came out of Maryland and were reputed to have sold a million copies of their recording for Score Records in 1948.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Jackson 5ive
No commentary this week, because I cut my two fingers pretty severely, and I'm typing one-handed for a while. So watch and enjoy.
