Thumbs down for the elision of the word "fucking special". Enough with this concept that jazz music has to be clean and politically correct. PUH-LEEASE!
I think I have the official video to this song somewhere. My Dad and sister have both performed alongside Frank before - my Dad Alan Western gigged with him at Jupiters Casino a number of years back, and my sister Melissa was on a bill with him at the Brisbane Powerhouse for the cabaret festival in 2006 or 2007. Frank is a class act, and he's a great sax player as well. :)
this is an . . . interesting take on the song. its like he's singing it with a smile. hmm. i can't say that i care for it. i mean its not bad. but not my favorite version. i laughed at the background singers "He's a creep! He's a wierdo!"
Where is Frank Bennett these days? I saw him live in a club a few years back and loved him even more live than on video-clip. Is he still doing shows? I've noticed that his web site is no longer. what happened????? I'd love to be able to see him perform again. And who cares if Michael Bubble has hair - Frank is pure class all the way.
I think I've got the original video in my collection somewhere. Frank Bennett is actually jazz saxophonist Dave Wray and he has done gigs with my dad and sister in Brisbane. This song ought to have been an international hit.

Sorta working the same vein as Richard Cheese and, to a lesser extent, Paul Anka (who totally stole the idea from RC).

This recording is from 1996. Around 4 years before Dick Cheese covered it.

Not saying he didn't. Who knows, maybe Paul Anka stole the idea from Frank Bennett rather than Dick Cheese.
