[suemc1965]

Nice lil video you put together to a FAB choon x

[cmulwee001]

Although first recorded by The Maytones, this version is far superior and was obviously the basis for Three Dog Night's hit making cover version.

[HowDareThey1970]

@cmulwee001 I had read somewhere it was 1st a solo recording by Sammy Davis Jr... but never been able to find a copy.

[cmulwee001]

@HowDareThey1970

I've heard that too. And, like you I can't find it anywhere. I wonder if it was ever even released.

[Combinia]

teach your children the universal declaration of human rights!

and let them listen to these great historical messages.

[Combinia]

[MyCarol65]

i bought this when i was leaving school in 1971 not heard this in years

[909kong]

Didn't know about this original version until I was older...when I was a little kid, 3 dog night had a bid hit with it in the U.S.

[HowDareThey1970]

@909kong I don't think this is the original actually, I think the original was Sammy Davis Jr in 1957, but I haven't been able to find that on YouTube yet.

[ilovejkass2]

kinda creepy gifs... like the guitarist baby.. but a great song.

[grenadian6670]

I remember singing this at Primary School as a Hymn. Prefer this version any day !!!

[123gogary]

Also recorded by the Maytones.

[browningbbw]

True, tho this is the version that always stands out for me, maybe because its more upbeat.

Funny, was just talking about the Maytones yesterday.

@123gogary

FIRST recorded by Sammy Davis Jr. in 1956. Unbelievable.

It was a tribute to Brown vs Board of Ed

[backinnadedays]

Sis.........I bought an album, last week, and this was the 1st tune.........................m­emories of serious racism in my primary school in the 60's, This song gave me hope,still a look fe de hope

[browningbbw]

The hope is always there...it can never be lost or we might as well give up altogether!

[Fooglet]

[KernowKopia]

this is one of my childhood hood favs too ..Wogan or Jimmy Young must have liked it ..anyway sweet tune with sound lyrics ..perfect for a sunny day ..thanks :D

[lardsah]

Jeeze browning..as soon as I heard this it reminded me of a school mate, David, who was mad mad for this tune. Funny, I haven't thought of him in years and years but music does that to you doesn't it?.

Lovely memories sis, thanks for this.

[loveninity]

often find myself singing this song to myself. it also reminds me of my childhood nice upload

[hahabass]

We must be around the same age, you poor thing.

[browningbbw]
