Mills Brothers - Glow Worm (live, 1957)
Now, the Mills Bros were definitely not cool when I was a kid....heck my Dad liked them. But I was housebound and bedridden (as bedridden as an active 11 year old could be) and I played 78's my Dad had of them and the Ink Spots.....I was hooked....and this number really moves!
Julie Driscoll - Season Of The Witch (1968)
I have posted/blogged this one before (at the Flimwell Papers) in my best cover songs note!
But was out and about in the lovely spring day in the Kent countryside and heard it again as I hiked down a trail in Westerham....so gotta send it along....Brian Auger is a keyboard fave too!
