The second of Ringo's 7 consecutive top 10 hits, "Back Off Boogaloo" debuted at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending April 1, 1972.  It peaked at #9 for 2 weeks, it's only time in the top 10, and spent a total of 10 weeks on the chart.

There's much more, of course.

Johnny Mathis sings the answer to this question

Washington Post, 11/23/2016

And it’s not just that; at the same time, the Trump administration and congressional Republicans are getting ready to move on their highest priorities, cutting taxes for the wealthy, scrapping oversight on Wall Street, and lightening regulations on big corporations.

Blinded by a megawatt celebrity, Trump voters have shown themselves not to be the nimblest of thinkers. 



"And that's a long, long time."

A top 10 hit for Johnny Mathis in late 1957 and early 1958.

Struggling White Voters Who Helped Elect Trump Are Headed for Some Serious Pain.  (The Nation, 11/22/2016)

Immediately after the election, the candidate who ran against the establishment, the guy who promised to “drain the swamp,” immediately surrounded himself with party hacks and lobbyists. He announced that Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus, perhaps the most prominent face of the dreaded “establishment,” would be his chief of staff.
