This is the first in what might possibly be a continuing series of songs I’ve discovered in the last couple of weeks

Cover of the Spotify 'album' - Let Me Entertain You The Lady Loves Me (from the MGM movie soundtrack "Viva Las Vegas") - Ann-Margret,Elvis Presley - I'd either never heard this song, or forgotten it. It's a duet from Viva last Vegas...but don't let that put you off!

Cover of the Spotify 'album' - Hurt So Good In the Ghetto - Susan Cadogan - This is lovely - a reggae cover of a Bee Gees song.

You might like this if you like Lovers Rock, or the popp-ier end of reggae in general

Cover of the Spotify 'album' - The Benevolence of Sister Mary Ignatius Ali Baba - The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra - This is a modern version of a fantastic song by John Holt. I think Lee Thompson is one of Madness, but I may be wrong. It's different enough from the original to be worth listening to. The LP is named 'The Benevolence Of Sister Mary Ignatius'. Sister Mary is worth looking up, if you are interested in Jamaican music.

You might like this if you like 2 Tone, or Desmond Dekker

Cover of the Spotify 'album' - Presenting The Revels Midnight Stroll - The Revels - This was on a Halloween compilation, but I'm going to be listening to it all year round. Spotify features an LP cover showing five white blokes, but Wikipedia shows five African Americans from Philadelphia.

Cover of the Spotify 'album' - Welcome to the Ponderosa Ringo - Lorne Greene - I've been listening to a few of these sort of 'cowboy songs'. Lorne Greene was in Bonanza.
