Hello Stranger, Barbara Lewis (1963)
One of the prettiest songs ever written IMO.
Barbara Lewis was inspired to write a song with that title while working gigs in Detroit with her musician father: “I would make the circuit with my dad and people would yell out: ‘Hey stranger, hello stranger, it’s been a long time’.” The song is notable because its title comprises the first two words of the lyrics but is never repeated at any point in the rest of the song.
