Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas - Trains And Boats And Planes

[benafuda]

the best version. "No further correspondence shall be entered into"

Interesting. A whole verse has been left out - a key part of the song - it's in the versions sung by women (e.g. Warwick, Shaw). "We were so much in love ... " etc. Why? Did those words somehow sound ... unmasculine? They form a different part of the melody, which of course couldn't be cut, so here that part is a wordless instrumental section. Mysterious.

@jarabaa Yea is that the reason or did the just want an instrumental break

[DAUROIS1]

French version by Claude François.

The lack of bridge is obvious. However, it's cool to hear this with a male vocal. (Nothing beats the Warwick or Shaw versions, though). x

Mick Green on Guitar---- Great

God, I thought it was Aretha Franklin I remember singing this, although she did sing it; in 1965 it's these guys I remember. they were great! How restrained the melody and beat and yet an undercurrent of longing.

Beautiful version , its one of the best!!!!! Love this group and 1965, the best times.

[DagmarOfzo]

omg, this reminds me of my father!

he was a sailor, and everytime he went away, he sung (song, don't know how to say it) this song and told me that he came back soon..

[Jupiter2able]
