May 25th is ‘National Sing Out Day’.

This is all about singing for yourself — singing and ‘letting it all out’ — that is — sing out loud in an uninhibited and relaxed manner.

Some historians reckon humans started singing during the Neanderthal era. The first recorded song was by a French printer, Édouard-Léon Scott in 1860.

The highest-selling solo artist in history was Elvis Presley. The King!
