Song Of The Day: Dec. 7, 2017
Had to do it, had to do it. Check out the Kinky Friedman shoutout:
OK, kids, Trivia Time. Without looking it up, who had the first hit with this song? If you know, you’re more country than me. Which, come to think of it, isn’t all that difficult.
Charlie Pride. Sorry, hate the lead vocal, much prefer the Mavericks version. Also featuring Flaco Jimenez.
Charlie Pride it is!
I like this version b/c it’s sheer fun. Yes, Doug could be a little sloppy, his pitch sometimes proximate, but I found that part of his ragged charm. You can’t say that he and the audience weren’t having fun.
I was going to guess The Partridge Family.
