Tom Dunphy - If I Didn't Have A Dime

[granny8897]

I listened to the original by Tom Dunphy, the Jimmy Buckley version, and Gene Pitney's rendition and ........ the winner is Daniel O'Donnell. Unfortuneately his performance isn't available here, if it is I can't find it.

Can't see how it's better than Pitney when it's the exact same arrangement. Nostalgia is fine but let's be honest.

The definitive version. Better than Pitney's

[vanguard1952]

@clareman21  We're all used to Gene's version : that said,there seem to be more interesting modulations in Pitney's version (+ I'm Irish!) . Love this version as well.

[MrHaverstock1888]

He is not GENE but it is a good song by a great singer Thomas Haverstock

B Side was 'What Will My Mary Say' almost as good.

Johnny Mathis sang it also.

Incredible voice, Long live the Showbands and their influence on our lives. Thanks for posting it, reminds me of my father listening to The Royal Showband when I was small.

A smother toned version than Gene Pitney's version,

Was the B side "What Will My Mary Say"?
