TOM JONES "detroit city" B/W "if i had you" 1967
im a huge fan of Tom Jones...just about everything he did in his early career would get a 'love it' rating from me, well,
except that stupid "whats new pussycat" song...man i hate that one with a passion, its cringeworthy...!
but yeh, "detroit city" was actually a cover of a country song from the early 1960s(just cant recall who recorded it first)...jazzbo will find it, im sure!
"B" side, another great vocal performance from "the coalminer's son"(see loretta, youre not the only one...lol!)
single peaked at #3 in the UK
