    A good song and Den Hegarty, the bass singer gets a credit on The Clash's Sandinista...weird huh?

    Not Doo Wop but one of the great vocal performances of popular music of a stunning song. Simply perfect, joyous and moving. I love it.

    Very much more a Doo Wop feel to this with its close harmonies from 'Sweet Sam'...

    I'm not a great fan of Queen, the odd great but mostly Brian May's guitar drives me insane. Freddie Mercury was a great front man but he should have left this alone. It's perfect. Love it.

    Stunning. And for him to die in such a stupid, senseless way (not to mention suspicious) is heart-breaking. <ok>

    I understand it had personal significance to him. He was hiding a big dark secret and so released the song.
    This is a more fitting way to remember him

    Speaking of Sam Cooke, this is my highlight

    Beautiful. I'm a big fan of this belter. Lou Rawls voice is ever so slightly behind Sam Cooke which was a trick used by ABBA and The Beatles amongst others to give a great effect. They used multi-tracking whereas this features another sensational soul voice echoing Sam Cooke's.

    One of the best SLF songs is a tribute to Joe
