      @@cannedtuna6114 It's like a thing in the Jewish community to be a bit masochistic. Jewish guilt. It sort of has to do with the whole idea that you have to suffer for your sins or just suffer in general before you feel any sort of pleasure. Catholics deal with a similar thing

    I recorded a longer version of this story off his radio show in the early 80s. In that version, the horny woman is married and says that her husband comes home at 6, so he’d better come over now. He also mentions that WAHR’s transmitter had all of 250 watts and only had a range of maybe 20 blocks.
    One little problem is that King was 23 in 1957 and the Belafonte album in question was recorded and released in 1959. He’s been known for embellishing his little tales before (like the one about going to the Carvel in New Haven), but he ought to try to make them plausible.

    Uncontrollable laughter and empathy. He was an incredible storyteller!!
    [Personal backstory. Larry King worked at WIOD in Miami and many years later - so did I! ...anchored the morning news, was the director of public affairs, and hosted a weekend talk show. I was there during the era of MURPHY BROWN - a "fictional" single parent news woman, who a real-life vice-presidential candidate (Dan Quayle) took on for political gain. (insert major side-eye here) I was pregnant with my daughter at the time, an independent single mom to be, the only 'anchor of color' on the team, and my colleagues lovingly gave me the nickname "BROWN MURPHY." It stuck for years! ...Good times!] Anyway, he left a BIG chair there! And Larry King's presence and legacy never left those lovely (North Bay Village) studios on the water. RiP.
