aw i love imelda may and wats good about her is that shes not trying to be all glamorous she is just being who she is :) makes me proud to be Irish :):):D
Absolutely perfect feel for the uptempo take on this song. Heard this at work and ran to the back room to read the display on the jukebox/satellite. Flawless timing.
I remember Dave Phillips did a cracking Rockabilly version of this song in the early 80s, but Imeldas version has topped it (no mean feat either). I dig this more than the original version too, and the original is great! Top Notch, Girl! ;)
came back to do encore with this song in Toronto last night, no air conditioning, she still gave her all and it was so great she came back out to do this song, I met a young man at the bar last night, hadn't seen him since he was a little boy in london ontario, his father was Johnny cash's manager Saul Holliff He just made a movie of the 13 years he spent with the Cash family and he called it "My father and the man in black" check it out by that name on facebook. he loved Imelda so much. me tooo
There are almost no bad covers of this song! I listened to all of them on youtube and the only bad one is the pussycat dolls version. This is pretty good!
The more I listen to Imelda, the more I love her singing. I'd never have clicked on this track if it wasn't for her.
Imelda has a rare ability to make just about anything sound great.
Dublins finest!

And for those unfamiliar, the original was a motown dance stomper that sounded very much like this without the rockabilly guitars.
