i don't give a damn about Richie Havens.

Jimmie's version is fine with me and was obviously more accepted than the Weaver's version which many at the time thought were a bunch of pinkos. There version was OK though not up to pop speed.

I like pop music. Expecially pop music that has withstood the test of time. I will always take The Tokens version of Wimoweh over the Weavers, also. Jimmie's version is well produced, has some fine singing and upright bass in it, and will always be the version most people will want to hear.

Nothing wrong with getting on the folk music bandwagon. Trini Lopez also did pretty good by it.
