  • Colonel O'lernin from Whitesburg, KySomeone mentioned there was an answer tune called "Flight 1203," by a girl group. That group, strangely enough, was "The Beverley Sisters," whose biggest hit was probably "Sisters, Sisters," - yes, the tune from White Christmas, parodied by Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.
  • John Bullock from Onsaw the Everly Brothers in 1972 (Ottawa Ontario) and they sang Ebony Eyes. A single spot light was on them
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaOften wondered if this was based on a real experience by the song writer(or someone he knew) there was a follow up song by a girl group with the title Flight 1203 as I recall.
