After the treasure trove of new-to-me old musical riches I found here on YouTube throughout 2011, I've just discovered my first great old song of 2012--thanks so much!

Didn't know this existed. Grew up with the Jay and the Americans version and later heard the Lenny Welch rendition. Have to admit to liking Jay's vocal on that a bit more, but this is still a splendid record and didn't deserve obscurity.

@lesgore54 This way this song is constructed, fits perfectly with Jay Black's vocal ability.

I never even heard of her.

@quieterrps Each one of her records got progressively better. I can only imagine what wonderful musical gems she would have churned out if she had continued recording. Your comments are very much welcomed. Comment away!

Another tune that I'm in your debt for. Always thought there must've been more than the fantastic "Gonna Make Him My Baby" single and this is just as quality! Glad to have found your channel. (last comment ~ for the morning at least~ I promise!) :- )
