the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

Sam Cooke wrote and performed A Wonderful World, recorded in 1959 and released in 1960. British invasion group Herman's Hermits covered it in 1965. They also did "Mrs. Brown, You've Got as Lovely Daughter" (big smash hit) and "Can't you Hear My Heart Beat" (runner-up on my list). Another song with a similar name was released in 1967, but was blocked by ABC's record company exec from being promoted in the USA, so I never heard it until the late 1980s, when it was re-released and played by my friends at the radio station I also hosted/programmed on then. I thought this song probably was something from the early 1950s, so I didn't insert it into the proper 1967 or 1988 places on these threads. It has grown on me, because everybody seems to love it, and everybody loved Louis Armstrong.





I have to admit, it's an uplifting and beautiful song.
