Historical note

Doris Day's 1958 recording of "Hooray for Hollywood" is part of radio broadcast history. On November 22, 1963, shortwave radio station WRUL was playing Day's recording of the song (as part of its adult contemporary music format, transmitted to Latin American listeners) when the ABC Radio network interrupted the song at 1:36:50 PM EST to issue the first broadcast bulletin concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
