Jimmy James and the Vagabonds - Red Red Wine

[MegaJohnson64]

Is it the genius of Neil Diamond that his song translate into R&B as well as country or reggae...all in one song? Neil is either generic as an artist or he has the sense and talent for the craft of pop music.

[geosin1945]

Still have the original album "Open Up Your Soul" released in 1968

I've seen him live a couple of times at The Tower Ballroom in Birmingham.

A geat act and top performer who gives it everything he's got !!!!!!

Jimmy sang this on P&O's Ventura 27/3/10 and it was absolutely fantastic. The whole show was outstanding, he asked the audience to help "the old man" but believe me he needed no help. I was whoopin' and hootin' and had to apologise to the woman with a small child in front of me as I made that much noise, and learned it was his daughter and grandaughter. The wee girl wanted to see her Grandad in all three shows, wish I'd done the same! Thank you Jimmy for making my birthday one to remember!

what a great version of neil's song

[pappy154451956]

Oh heavenly--I bet Neil plays this version as well on occasion in his own home.

[lovemetunes]

Saw Jimmy 3 times in the last year and every time is a wonder.

The Guvnor.

All of you wannabe's on X FACTOR etc, go and see him and see what a real star and a real performer can do.

[messageman3]

i was there, and i agree, he was my cruise highlight!

[sabrang1430]

not even neil diamond,ub40,or any tom dick and harry can touch this.This is the ultimate version of red red wine! thanks u 4 postings this

[cricketbat08]

This has always the version I like most. Sublime!

[waketheoblivious]

I agree, it is a complicated song and this version does justice to the original, which is the forlorn song of an alcoholic's troubled soul. UB 40 made it a drinking dancing tune and amazingly both diametrically opposed versions are superb.

[pinkync]

No one has done it better.

[colscript]

Very nice to hear your so sweet voice again Jimmy

[scotia247]
