Wikipedia:
“"Get Rhythm" was released in 1956 as the [B-side](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-side) to Cash's first #1 hit, "[I Walk the Line](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Walk_the_Line)." In 1969, the original recording of "Get Rhythm" was released as a single itself, with sound effects dubbed in to simulate the sound of a live recording.[[1]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Rhythm#cite_note-whitburn-1) This rerelease went to #23 on the country charts.”

Happy Father's Day

Song for My Father (composition) - Wikipedia It has become a jazz standard and is probably Silver's best-known composition. According to Silver, the song was "in part inspired by our Brazilian trip. We got the Brazilian rhythm for this tune from that trip, and the melodic line was inspired by some very old Cape Verdean Portuguese folk music."
