Oooh, I guessed right. And it just makes it into the 60's. Unfortunately not rare tho.
It is for someone born in the 80s! I used to listen to a lot of radio stations that played old rock and roll hits but I don't think I ever heard that one come up. I only knew it because it featured on an old video we had at home.
ok guys.... this will be my last post until weds or thurs next week as im off on my break to see my lad dj-ing in ibiza.
ill leave you with one of this threads favourite artists, and repeat the very first track submitted just over 5 years ago, a very special track to me nostalgia wise as i remember hearing it, liking it, as a 9 year old boy but as it wasnt a hit - losing it until rediscovering it in the 70's - solitary man. ... please feel free to post in my absence! (although i might look in )

Those lyrics could be completely wrong but the structure is about right!
Wow. Didn't think it was at first but 30 seconds in it made sense.
Not a song I would have expected them to cover .
