In 1968 Rod McKuen released the historic poem and song “A Cat Named Sloopy” from his “Listen to the Warm” album. Some say this poem catapulted Rod's work to superstar poetic status back in the day. Rod had an affection for cats and dogs, and it came through in his work. If you're a fan of Rod McKuen's work, please join our group on Facebook “Rod McKuen Fan Club.”
