  • Could you please tell me what cd you found this version on??? i can't find this live one ANYWHERE!!!!

  • @stvnixrcks  Yeah, this version has more fire. The album it's on now is, Della on Stage / At Basin Street East. Take care!

  • Oh Happy Day!!! The first time I heard this song was in Atlanta, GA in a gay club called "Backstreets". A female impersonator (Drag Queen) by the name of Brandy Alexander did this song and I immediately fell in love...with the song, and with Brandy. Brandy later moved to Charlotte, NC where I got to know her briefly. Talk about a walk down memory lane!!!

  • @robyfox2 I LOVE the story......thank you so much for sharing that with me. Kind of got a kick out of your clarification for drag queen.....I'm a lesbian, so yeah, made me smile. Take care!!! Thanks for the comment!

  • @robyfox2 Did this Brandy Alexander used to be in New York City. I think I met her in Indianapolis, in in 1964-64, Or this could be a drag queen who claimed to be her named Randy?? Any way she introduced this song to us and great memories. Yes it was.

  • First time I ever heard this was Tiffany Ariagus as well, she remains one of the truly greatest entertainers I have ever witnessed.
