i was listening to this song on the radio today in my car and i hurried up to sing and post it on YouTube - i always liked the atmosphere of it and the sound voice of tanita tikaram even though i never really understood the lyrics
never heard about this gipsy (?) oscar benton and his bensonhurst blues before listening to it in the french movie "pour la peau d'un flic" by alain delon
today i'm feeling blue and this beautiful old song (to me the best version is the animals' although nina simone and joan baez did nice covers) well i was saying this nice ole tune could not heal my pain
the first time i heard this song by ray charles in the 60's i was sure it was his own composition and have been surprised when i later knew that it was an older country song
