Although I was only 5 in 1975, and I know about the sinking, I have never
heard or heard of this song.

The song was on the pop music charts for several weeks. It played regularly at
that time in Atlanta, which is not exactly a Yankee city. As with any popular
song, it would play occasionally as an "oldie" in Atlanta and Knoxville during
the late 70s and early 80s. I believe that I've heard it on the air only once
since 1984.
