This song always make me think of my brother. His favorite song. Lost him 5/26/1980. While zerving in the Navy on the USS Hawkbill nuclear sub. Miss you Joe!❤
me too! i didnt know the 'words' but sang along anyway very loudly! i had 2 much older sisters and listened to their music. what was the song of the same era that was in japanese?
Probably a combination of the fact that she wasn't a man (it was the 60's), and she wasn't a full member of The Tokens (being an opera star as a day job). All I know is that she made the thing as brilliant as it was and deserved to be on stage with the men. A later version shows a blond girl at the back of the men. It's Kelly Krepin Defade. She does less singling than Anita Darian did in the first version but at least you can see her on camera. Fantastic. @@kerryhudson4607
