Now, the ring doesn’t sparkle, doesn’t shine, and he just wants to sell it-and that’s not too easy, 30 years before eBay. Probably the best known and most popular of the five songs discussed here, this oldies-channel staple tells the story of a poor sap who thought his diamond ring would be a symbol of “a dream that is coming true”-until his intended takes a walk.
