I was conversing (through email) with my step-mother, and I recited
half remembered lyrics to a song I remembered from when I was growing
up. I said that surely my dad would remember the artist.

But he didn't.

Various lyric searches were no help, as the lyrics I remembered
(scratch, scratch, my back) weren't exactly correct (substitute me for
my, and that's what it was). And I couldn't remember the artist, only
that I sorta remembered it being a "black" artist.

I was pretty sure it was Buffy Sainte Marie (searches on her didn't
work cause I was misspelling her name too.)

Today, I tried again. Caribbean sings didn't work. Then I saw the key
phrase...CALYPSO. Yah, that was what it was. And I remembered that the
artist had a daughter who is a singer now....

That eventually led me to Harry Belafonte. Boy, I can't believe how
fuzzy my memory was. I was thinking jamaican (he's Cuban), caribbean
(instead of calypso), female instead of male. Hey, at least I got the
lyrics mostly correct.

Google is getting too much garbage in their search engine now a days.
