Which is just the fancy way to say that it's time for the third and final entry in the 2015 Dead Celebrity Tune Trilogy ... an annual tradition honoring three celebrities who passed in the year that just ended.
If you haven't been following along with the 2015 edition, it's had tunes from Percy Sledge and Maureen O'Hara so far ... and the final entry is hinted at by the image accompanying this post.
Indeed, Ms. Lynn Anderson passed in 2015, and although I considered going for one of her other hits ... since they were mostly just before I was born, I did circle back to settle on her most famous ditty ... with its reality-based outlook on a life of ups and downs AND the exhortation to "smile for awhile and let's be jolly" (made all the more better because the clip I located on the youtube is a duet between Lynn and the incomparable Martina McBride [one of the artists most frequently chosen for my Tuesday Tune series]).
