Subject: RE: Best song Lonnie Donegan ever performed
Whether he had the 'best' voice or not, in the UK or anywhere, he conveyed a lot of excitement in his performances.

For that feeling of excitement, one of his best performances for me was another B side. Someone has already mentioned "The Golden Vanity" which was the B side of 'My Old Man's a Dustman' (oh dear!). The B side of "Battle of New Orleans" was the better side of the record, and is my favourite, though never seeming to feature in 'best of' compilations. It's a really driving performance of "Darlin' Cory".

Lhiats,
