-Mac In the 1980’s I ran a pup in Newcastles Bigg Market and on Monday nights I used to have an acoustic duo on, and they sounded more like The Housemartins than the actual band did!
The Cover which I loved back in the day:
The original below (they just lacked a singer)
DavecUK you’re pulling our legs I fear? (Re. Golden Brown)
DavecUK Best song about Heroin I know!
MWJB Although I really liked Otis Clays original.
MWJB who did the original?
The cover (which I love)
The Original…pfff
DavecUK Ali Campbell and the band apparently weren’t even aware of the Diamond version when they released theirs, they covered the Tony Tribe version
MWJB no, that’s what Brubeck called it..
DavecUK What he called ‘Take 5’?

DavecUK I think you may have been taken in by a youtubers clever mash up. I think the youngsters call them deep fakes.
MWJB
(Yes, it’s a cover…)
-Mac Makes me realise how little I know about music! A lovely song
-Mac I must have played this song a dozen times since being introduced to it. You can see how ill Cash is. He is not playing the piano and guitar yet he still delivers a powerful song. He was extremely ill when this video was made….hats off to him and thanks for posting the link matey
Gagaryn Nah it’s real I tell you
Gagaryn You know, when I heard the cover the first thing I thought of was Elvis Costello! Many thanks
-Mac I used to really like The Who. I bought Daltreys first solo album which featured the enchanting Giving them all away……..many ta’s
-Mac A lot of folks thought Kim Wilde was a one hit wonder (Kids from America) but they are wrong!
