In 1989,Ray Charles recorded a cover version of the Japanese band Southern All Stars' song "Itoshi no Ellie" as "Ellie My Love" for a Suntory TV advertisement and turn out become a hit. Nice melody and sweet lydric.
this is a greatest hits of Southern All Star and written by Japanese Singer song writer Mr. Keisuke Kuwata vocalist of Southern All Star who has recovered from cancer recently. I don't know how it process but all I know this lyrics is translation of Itoshi no Elly of Southern All Stars Japan
