Truly fascinating Joe. Not only had I never heard of the song, I had never heard of the singer! I love being enlightened like this. It's a great song too - which you would hope for with a back story like that!!
What a cool find! The voice and melody actually remind me a little of the (Dutch) Outsiders... and now I have to track this 45 down just for the Neil Diamond cover on the flip!
I hear the Outsiders in there, too! And yeah I knew you'd be interested in the Diamond cover, though "cover" is a bit of a misnomer, as it Diamond's melody with different lyrics. A great take on it!

It was new to me too until very recently! Glad to pass it along. Thanks for reading.
Looking forward to Crossed Channels!
Interesting this Italian interlude. In any case, this ragazzo does not have the attitude of this one

Love it! Yeah, that's some 'tude. Thanks for posting.
The Brogues’ “I’m not a miracle worker” really travel.
yeah it does!
There's a decent cover of this song by Brazil's Os Incriveis.
