I think Billy Vera wrote the song so maybe this is his demo?

Nice. Interesting that someone added a snippet of this to refosoul in 2008 with the following text:

billy never recorded it, even as a demo. he wrote the song for a girl to sing, and was quite surprised that only proby and the idle few cut it billy never knew of the idle few's version until comparaitively recently, which is an indication of how marginally their sales must have affected his royalty statements. 35secs only,thats all yer`gettin`.

That's interesting, "35 secs that's all you're getting" he said...wonder who posted it?

I really like that.

 

Nice one.

Love The Idle Few & now I love this as well.

Great post Pete.

     

I don't know how many versions of this are out there, but PJ Proby also did it - on his Liberty LP, Enigma I think it was?

Play PJ on 45 & you have a great stompin' Pinkey & Perky Cover up!!!!!!

Billy Vera and PJ Proby........would you people buy these two records, if you collected records that is?

I'd buy Billy Vera I think.  Love the Idle Few.

MMM I like that Pete, not one for slower ones usually but that hits the spot.
