Much prefer Blue Swedes version.A couple of forgotten gems I ran across this morning as I listen to oldies internet radio.
BJ Thomas.
She's still got it. Jack White (White Stripes) helps her make a remake.And Wanda Jackson. Once hailed as the Queen of rockabilly.
Quite a unique voice.

I saw her on tv a few year ago, she was in her 80s and still rocking strong!And Wanda Jackson. Once hailed as the Queen of rockabilly.

"Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have"
