I was shopping in Trader Joes the other day, where they stream oldies (at least the one in El Cerrito) and this gem came on.
Just a great cut (love the bass intro) that had me humming as I was tossing exotica into my cart.
There are a lot of covers, but the original is still the best, and this one, with a scratchy 45, cuts to the thing that I think gives music lovers a happy heart. (Note that following Everlasting Love was Jimmy Clanton’s Venus in Blue Jeans. I cracked up several folks as I was singing along. Should I be embarrassed that I know all the words still?). That song may be fun, but it is hardly a classic anything, however.
Love this, Lawr. Shoppers at TJ’s El Cerrito probably think I’m crazy, since I can’t stop myself from singing along to the soundtrack of my youth.
yup, a good one. Somehow I missed this original when I was a kid, but got into it backwards from the semi-disco cover by Carl Carlton.
