The Mills ALWAYS varied their performances! In the early 70s, many American popular singers had a renewed focus on articulation. The third chorus is sung in unison, and its fourth line begins with the words "crush it," which if you run them together can sound like "cruSHIT." It's funny to think the Mills may have picked up on the potential misunderstanding, because in their later years they always carefully articulated "crush IT," with a glottal stop between the words.
love this version so much. Really captured the feel of the times. THe melancholy, almost sweet. I'd love if anyone could remind me who the guitarist was at th time of this recording? It wasn't Norman Brown, was it?
Real old school. This is when vocalists really had to "sing". My grandpa would belt out a couple of Mills Brothers tunes now and then after a couple of beers.
Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers begat doo wop. And it was good.

The Ryan Gosling character in the movie definitely did this. He was a manipulative bashing ass.

At least 30 of these views are me from the past week. I don't even think I'm exaggerating at ALL. 2011 needs more of this.
