[DrummingGrandma]

@az932 This was the # 1 song on my birth date, but this is the first time I've heard it! I like it, upbeat & happy. I wonder if my mother listened to it when I was a baby :)

Hi can anyone tell me where I can find the song "bottoms and bows" by Evelyn Knight, I heard it on T.V. music station 40's and fell in love with it.

This song Little bird told me is the only song I've seen by Evelyn Knight and i'd like to hear more.

Thanks

[gramophoneshane]

Hi Jennifer. I uploaded a few more Evelyn Knight songs earlier today, including a duet with Dick Haymes. I don't have Bottoms & Bows though. I do have buttons & bows by Dinah Shore.

[jenniferTex15]

Thank you, I listen to all 5 of them and liked them very much,she sounds a lot like Doris Day.

You collection is just super and sharing it with us on youtube is so wonderful of you.

Thanks

in fact, paula watson (a black singer) recorded this song for the indie label "supreme", reached #2 on R&B charts and #6 on pop charts. decca records (a more mainstream label) immediately got evelyn knight (a white singer) to produce a cover, in which she copied watson's singing so precisely.

[jessimon]

musical experts couldn't tell the difference between their voices! knight's version reached #1 on pop charts. supreme tried suing decca records on accounts of "stolen" vocal style and arrangement, but the judge ruled in favour of decca records (larger label) stating that musical style is not covered under copyrights, rather the sheet music was. the author actually collected royalties from both... so that blew over.

[jessimon]

this is a cover of Paula Watson.

Tremendous song, never thought would hear again. Heard on nostalgia radio 25 years ago. I believe she was backed up by the Stardusters. She sang with soul, but believe was white (of couse color is no factor).

[02cohenj]

i love this song

[gramophoneshane]

Me too. I think it's the best song Evelyn recorded.
