Want to play eight ball for money?
(I win often. Ask my wife. Witness.)
Sigh of relief. I know all your songs. My most urgent question: someone sang “Save the Last Dance for Me” who never shows up on the lists. She had a sharp salty voice. I fell in love with her, played it every time I found her on the jukebox. Who was she? (Not Emmylou Harris or Dolly Parton. Sharper, quicker, sexier.)
Answer me this and then we’ll get down to brass tacks. Like, is it, contrary to my conviction, Brenda Lee or is it not Brenda Lee? You know. Not that many raspy tough women’s voices. Listening to her I got involved in the worst bar fight of my life. Guy I was with went nuts, threw the bartender against the back of his own bar. Shattered the mirror and mostly him too. We had to run to the cars and peel away. Can still hear the refrain. Despite all my Internet expertise, can’t find her.
Help me out.
Much much more to talk about.
Emmylou Harris ?
No. Could it be Brenda Lee? In spite of my conviction that it wasn’t? Some hard, rasping, female, ballbusting voice, with no time to spare…
Last thing I remember: “But don’t forget who’s taking you home and in whose arms you’re gonna be,” she made sound like one word. Ring any bells?
I mean, you know the song. Think who sang it. At this time of night, it’s just you and me. Bear down. She may have been a one hit wonder. Ask around if need be. Want to hear it again. You know how it is.
Patula Clark did a recording so did Anne Murray. You probably heard Anne Murry.
Listened to a new voice for this song Ann Breen.
Now you’re disrespecting me. Anne Murray? Petula Clark? Stop. In a bad mood tonight? I’m talking about a hot song from the old days. Rough country chick singer. 1975. You must have me confused with someone who never, uh, did all the crazy stuff I have done. Read Instapunk.com in full before you ever talk to me about Petula Clark and Anne Murray again. Thought you were shrewd. Was I wrong?
Bonnie Raitt? Not that I remember a female version, but she sure has that voice.
Patula Clark did a recording so did Anne Murray. You might have heard Sandy Posey. Emmy is considered the best version by some.
It also depends on the year or type of club/bar.

Skeeter Davis?
Been reading your sites for years!! I read a lot!
Oh well. Generally speaking, I can find anything on the Internet. This one song I want I can’t. Not your fault.
I’ll start appreciating your list Monday. Send us a picture? No need, but you know the drill. Always a graphic to start the discussion.
By now the NSA knows my e-address is sigmazrn@comcast.net. You’re always welcome, Edna,
Proving I outlast everybody. Me and Keith.
not really
Oh yes. Really.

Was it Damita Jo? From: http://everynumberone.blogspot.com/2010/06/october-november-1960-save-last-dance.html
Ah, responded before I saw the above. It was a guy! Okay, I would not have found that.
