Light dawns on Marblehead

I was up early this morning & caught this recording of Sing Sing Sing on Harvard's radio station.
Now, I'd heard it plenty of times.
At one point I owned the boxed set that came of this show but it took someone else reading the name of Benny's payroll that night for me to realize just how big of a deal it was.

Lifted from Wikipedia if there's any objections:

Say, while I'm on the subject of good music it's WMBR's fund raising week, why not go make a pledge?
