Bob, it was Johnny Mathis' "Gina" from 1962. I don't know of one by Elton John. I know of a few other, more contemporary ones--not many, though! :-)

PS: I need to read some Solzhenitsyn. I’m terribly unversed in his works!

Thanks to my prof assigning me Solzhenitsyn as a naive freshman in college, I was sobered, and could never again fall for Communist propaganda. I can pick the Clintons and Obamas as Marxists before they finish two sentences, just by their phraseology. BTW, I recommend Denisovich, b/c it’s short and subtly at times, and overtly at others, horrifying. His Gulag books are great, but a long and slow slog. Blessings, Bob
