"Open the Door, Richard" is a song first recorded on the Black & White
Records label by saxophonistist Jack McVea at the suggestion of A&R man
Ralph Bass. In 1947, it was the number-one song on Billboard's "Honor Roll
of Hits" and became a runaway pop sensation. In 1967, Bob Dylan and The
Band recorded an homage to the song as part of The Basement Tapes. Entitled
"Open the Door, Homer", the chorus nevertheless repeated the phrase "Open
the door Richard."
