@youtubalerts Thank you!

Burt needs to quit trying to sing and just let John Pagano have center stage.

[Ihy744ppp]

@lesmorosi He wrote the songs....

Can't believe this is already two years back...

This guy obviously has his 'instrument' and is proficient, replete with every stylistic idiosyncratic cliche that every other dweeb attempting to render a 'soulful' vocal has in this day. And it comes off as septic and cold compared to the beautifully understated and heart rending performance by Herb Alpert. Thanks for posting.

@vampyros1

Herb's version is the best, even Burt himself (I think) sang it on a few occasions.

I dig Sammys and the Dells is Wild

@steve1963ish Just pulled the Sammy version down; I like him and he always swings but it comes off more spare jazz trio (even w/horns) than I'd prefer on this gem with a mindblowing chord progression. Trump ...

@vampyros1 You call Pagano and raise with herb,

I call Herb and riase with Sammy D Jnr

Far superior

@groovekitty70 ,,pagano owned the song in his own mind..but i heard alpert with so much less of a voice give so much more...what can i say ..i like cheezzz whizzzzz...

pagano has a voice but he knows it..but that dont give him a winning effort of OWNING THE SONG.ok.....whats was difficult was alpert being the age he was and making himself sound so innocent..pagano just sang the song and thats it...he owned the moment..but not the song..
