There’s a band somewhere in Finland preparing a copyright infringement letter directed to you right now…
But you know what’s the greatest thing about this song? That it pronounces my name in my local accent, as opposed to the pronunciation that is widely accepted in former Yugoslavian countries’ languages. And for that, I can’t thank you enough!
It does sound like a bit like one of those Eurovision ‘heavy’ entries. Also love that AI couldn’t find rhymes to go with your name and just ended with -a . And at some point computer dude just goes Ricola, Ricola, Ricola…
I’d never actually heard that song with lyrics before. Being a bit of a Northern afficionado , the only version I knew was the Ramsey Lewis instrumental from 1966.
My interest piqued , a quick look at Wiki threw up a very interesting history of the song. Cheers !
Very interesting history behind the song. Thanks for this. It is nice to know the lyrics and meaning behind the song.
Do you mean this version?
I never heard of Marlene Wade before a few weeks ago. I heard she was a great Jazz singer too and sang with great Jazz artists of the 1960s. She only passed away recently
Then… when you mentioned Lewis, I only
heard the Lewis version a couple of days ago. The instrumental version is fantastic.
Saw them live a few years ago, against my will to be fair.
They need three gutarists and a front man.
And a drummer.
And better songs.
And then they might be better.
Just randomly playing some music videos tonight and pressed on this one as it has 17m views…
Jeeez… not the best pick for a Fathers Day
Anyone that has not heard of him… Well, play a couple of his songs and then tell me they don’t hit home - The comments on the youtube clips really do send ya over the edge…! @Maria - @Wilkored08 have you heard of this guy I wonder…?
Hi @sandsoftime
No, I haven’t heard from him, I googled him. He seemed to be around for quite a few years. Those two songs are jerkers. Very nice ballads, thanks for this.
We need some uplifting happy songs now.
Saw this lot while skimming through Glastonbury last night and I only wish I had discovered them earlier. I have been listening to them all morning; this is quite stupendous:
