The last one sounds a lot like Ya-Ya, which Steve Miller covered on his Born 2B Blue album.
Ya Ya is a cover of the Lee Dorsey tune!
That is what I meant to say but didn’t say it well. Dorsey had a hit with Ya-Ya, then Steve Miller did a cover of it on his album. Better? Off-topic, I’m almost done with The Library Book. Should be done by tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear your questions 🙂
Hope you are enjoying the book!
It’s extremely interesting and readable. Thanks for keeping at me 🙂
I figured it was up your alley!
Never Comes the Day is one of my most favorite songs ever. Sigh. Even as a little kid, it made me think back to the 60s. Weird, I know.
Interesting how songs effect people differently.
I’ve long been a pretty big Moody Blues fan, but somehow missed “Never Comes the Day”.
I had never heard the song before doing this post..
