What Where They Thinking

[Tomangoes]

Im falling in love with you baby - LJC, followed by Put your loving arms around me - The Sherries / his daughters take.

Of course they are loved by us, but seriously was it possible by changing the lyrics and singers/vocals on the backing track to get a commercial success that eluded Joe?

Perhaps they thought the Sherries stood a better chance as they had already hit with The Popeye

[Tomangoes]

Maybe.

Joe must have thought he was onto something. Maybe it was a preminition that one day it would sell well as 'Against my will' on a pressing etc.

Its just amazing to think that if either version had sold even a few thousand copies what it would have been like in the local discos/dancehalls when they got played. (What treasures the US missed out on.)

Wasn't PYAAM an old (40's ?) Show tune and IFILWYB therefore the later lyric ? (of course, that doesn't mean that they were released in that order)
