Description

Becuz I am new to this I am unsure which category to put the cover somgs . But here is one "Evie Sands-I can't let go"(Bluecat)

Hollies covered "I can' t Let go"(Imperial U.S.)/(Capitol Canadian) .IT charted on Billboard for the Hollies around #52. Chip Taylor wrote this song as well. I have tons more info on covers but this may fall on deaf ears. This is no doubt a much younger computer savvy crowd and my input on 60's covers and other more obscure covers may not be welcomed by a younger audience. Rich

PS. Trivia Question. Can anyone tell me who originally recorded Wild Thing before the Troggs. ANd yes it's another Chip Taylor song

Don't worry, old covers submissions are as welcome as recent ones.

The Wild Ones, right?

and is it true that Chip Taylor is related to John Voight? (and therefore Angelina Jolie?)

You're absolutely right DenDre on the Wild Ones recording Wild Thing first. I'm impressed. IF you get the next trivia right. I'll send you a CD of Canadian 60's obscurities. Tommy James & Shondells recorded "Do something to me" and charted at #38.But who recorded it first.? Try to answer within the next 12 hours. And try not to check the internet for the answer. Rich

PS There is honour among trivia pursuiters.

I'm working on "Do somethin' to me" now. Apparantly it's written by Tommy James & Ciccone. So how come you claim the Mysterian's version came first?
