Do ya really need to post the original...

Sometimes you have to when the cover ends up being the more well known copy of the two.

God bless you always!!!

This is a classic, I love this song.
But,
I found this one on Youtube with an old guy singing it and while I can't say it's better, I just like it more.
It's only been played a couple of hundred times, but I bet I played 20 or 30 of them.

No way better, Faith just does the "twang" version of this song =>

Many will know the song from the Korgis (1980) "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime"

I think this is great cover by Beck

I love to hear (and watch) Billy Joe Royal sing the song from back in the day named "Tell It Like It Is".



God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. I just wish that I had realized who I was missing out on before his going forward two months ago.
