Yeah, my mistake,,i read an article somewhere about Doug Sahm and the Texas Tornados which said Flaco had died .I`m glad it was wrong.

@MultiJaylea Errr....so far as I know, Flaco is still very much with us. At least Wikipedia and the "Dead or Alive" site both list him among the living at 72 years of age.

..one of my all time favorites..period....

@DocHolliday1881 I wouldn't want to argue with someone using your handle but for me this soft reggae rhythm makes the lyrics even more poignant than the versions that you mention. It is beautifully played and as Picasso said, 'If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

The beat doesn't go with the theme of the song. Jim Reeves and Elvis did better versions.

This song was playing on my parent's marriage.

Flaco is awesome! BTW, who's that singing backup? I used to know his name but forgot.

That's Bobby King - long time backup singer with Ry Cooder - check out his performance of "Chain Gang" (watch?v=dqW3zGeeIUU) - awesome!
