It's a hard song to research because of the ubiquitous nature of the title. I'm specifically looking for an extended length version, very sultry, that I heard on the radio, and would love to know who recorded it. Anyone know how I might find info on this song? Thanks. |

In fact, in the midwest, the song is best known by this band c. 1966 |

("I was a young man back in the 1960's.") It was not obvious to me then that Van Morrison would become "Van the Man". I'm amazed to learn that there were so many covers. We all preferred his version of "Baby Please Don't Go". |
