Written by Joe South; recorded by Billy Joe Royal before Deep Purple recorded it and showed how it should have been played in the first place, imho. |

I have been a fan of Joe South since I was a little girl living with my mother in Atlanta. He lived just two blocks away from us, though I never met him in person. I loved his music and I was always surprised that his music was made popular by other artists because he has such a nice voice. |

Gary Lewis & The Playboys had a number one hit in the US that was, oddly, never released in England. Which song was that? |
