Today, the oldies station played a song I associate with Evie Sands, but
it was by a different recording artist, and I didn't catch the name.

Who else released this tune?

The Hollies had the hit.

Yes and so did Linda Ronstadt many years later.

Well, this recording was definitely NOT Linda.

This is what I hear


The Ad Libs sing

his mini bar


The Manhattan Transfer sing

his dueling scar


The Darts skip that verse


Then, there is another version posted under the Whitburn R&B collection
that is attributed to the Ad Libs, but is a different take for sure and not
as good as the version Ive come to know as the original. I think this is
the one that Jan Dean is talking about. In this version, it sounds like

his pretty bar
