[Waltherie89]

Vom Rockabilly Star zum Hippie... traurig!

This song was not meant to be sung this way.

Both Hullabaloo and Shindig often had segments when all of the guest artists on the show that week would gather together onstage and sing songs that had fairly recently been either No. 1 or in the Top Ten. The producers of the shows decided which songs the artists would sing. Sometimes it worked well (e.g., Nowhere Man sung by the Mamas and the Papas on Hullabaloo) and other times it didn't. Just taking a quick look at No. 1's in 1965, there wasn't much in their style to sing.

omg wtf just happened

[ARIZJOE]

Not badly performed, but inappropriate material for the Collins, incongruous and not original enough. Instead of this and Vegas/ Reno material, Collins should have stuck to their rockabilly roots. For example, a Carl Perkins cover that the Beatles did would have been a better choice. Dusty Springfield type material would have been good also.

This sounds ok, kind of like a country version. Mary Well's version was much much better.

Love this version, its nice to hear another version from the era.. 5*
