Thanks for the encouraging words t-belly! When I post these songs, I’m always surprised at the ones everyone chimes in on. Almost 50 years, it is amazing. It’s fun to play everyone’s best stuff.

almost 50 years old and Cat stevens tunes still sound brilliant! Great job!

Thanks Kale! It’s not one that gets played on the oldies radio stations. Our main songbook is over 450 songs, enough to keep most anyone busy. And if you are a Beatles fan, they are well over represented!

I had to check out Gene’s version Brian! He really made the song his with a variety of lyric adjustments.

Great tune. Another one I haven't heard in years. The Slingers give a lot of great ideas for future CBG covers (and you even give us the chords).

Gene Vincent also recorded this song?

Thanks for the added info Alan! Even though I used the Sam Cooke version to ramp up, after viewing Cat’s version on YouTube I realize it is the one I am most familiar with.

Great Old Song Slingers, this old Bloke remembers this Sam Cooke Song well, Cat Stevens also did a Great Version a few years later. :-)

Thanks for watching guys (Uncle John, Brian, and A.D.)! It’s surprising how many interesting, playable and singable songs are out there. We’ll keep bringing them as our songbook continues to expand.
