57 years ago tomorrow 2 Years, 10 Months ago

My first record, written and recorded as a teenager, went to No1, vaulting over the Beatles who had, admittedly, spent weeks at No1 beforehand but were going up again until beaten by me. Coming up fast behind - next weeks No1 from Sonny and Cher.

I came across a list of all the covers of it. None of them are very different, though Chad and Jeremy's is surprisingly limp. I think the general feeling was "I cant add to it so I will just copy it and pocket some cash" Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Check out Nina Simone's version Honey. And Marlene Dietrich's if you can find it. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

It might be bizarre, (I love it)but Nina Simone doesn't misinterpret it as a love song, which is the problem for most. (In my head. No idea what you actually meant, obviously

)

The Marlene Dietrich version is perfect in every way.

I wish I could find the studio version.

Good grief sorry but that Nina Simone cover is one of the strangest, most grating things I have ever heard; and I like the original song and Simone! It could be my Auntie Jean singing it after a few too many sherries at Christmas... Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Let me guess something from the Macallan line.

I bet Hock never passed the Wyot threshold.

Yes Nina's version is definitely Marmite. It's my favourite (I love the way she goes out of tune on "tune". She turns it into a Black Power anthem; brave in 1965. And gives a very clear indication of her interpretation on what it was meant. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
