Hello pals! Welcome to Week 44 of #lexieschain. Dis week was down to me to choose da winner. So, last week da winning link was Chatanooga Choo Choo by The Andrew Sisters. Let's see wot ideas come in dis week:Song dis week is Chatanooga Choo Choo by Andrews Sisters. Ok, dis song is about a train journey from New York to Chatanooga. Annuver song about train journey between 2 US cities (Chicago & New Orleans) iz "City of New Orleans" by Willie Nelson. As luck would have it Willie Nelson also lent some vocal support on Chatanooga Choo Choo when covered by Asleep at the Wheel on their Western Stanard Time album. Also, The Andrews Sisters covered a song called "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" which also links them to my song choice which is "City of New Orleans" by Willie Nelson ;-)
Cat Stevens with "Peace Train" - Why? It's another great train song. Peace and love to you!

Me pick dis week duz be Mr. Bojangles by Sammy Davis Jr. Why? Da Andrews Sisters was bery famous and popular and set lots ob records (some still unbroken) and was bery influential and widely imitated. Dey recorded and performed wif many ovver artists and appeared on many major telebision shows. Before da Supremes dey was da most imitated female group. Dey appeared wif da Supremes on da Sammy Davis Jr. show where dey sang da Supremes songs and da Supremes sang da Andrews Sisters songs, den dey boaf togevver sang one ob Sammy Davis Jr's. So me picked dis in tribute to the multi-talented, ground-breaking, late, great Sammy Davis Jr. who brought da Andrews Sisters togevver wif da Supremes and united 2 ob da greatest and most influential female groups ob all time.

@rosieterrier
Chatanoogoo choo choo by the Andrews sisters makes me think of Wichita Lineman by the wonderful Glen Campbell who also sung Rhinestone Cowboy. Elvis da Presley wore a sparkly rhinestone suit and sang the wonderful Hugga Hugga Burning' Love AKA Burning Love and this dus be me entry.
Well dis week is difficult! We couldn't fink of a good linky, so we decided to pick anuvver best selling girl trio and decided on Wilson Philips singing 'Hold On'.
