Do You remember the saying the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice ? We Do

Today Lets compare styles shall we - Si Vous Plait ?

This is a very popular American Pop / Blues Classic. no doubt you'll recognize it immediately. the twist is that we have both the imitators and the Most Popular Version. when we read the story about the political imitator it refered to this classic as a Beatles tune.

 

Huh ?

Somewhere in the world there are people who really remember the song and they're scratching their heads much as we were. How did the Beatles get into this mix? apparently much of Americas' early pop music was appropriated by others and then the originators were forgotten. 

This friends is Johnny Hallyday and Celine Dione 

doing their level best to totally disfigure it with french accents mimicing southern english. Sacre Bleur', le version es les Garbage. (riiiite)

Today we are attempting to right that wrong begining with this song - Blueberry Hill, which for those who don't realize is really a sexual inuendo for the sweet African American Woman's parts. (wink*wink) This is the Most Recognized and Loved performing the Original 1956 Version

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill Live

Sing Along With Us Today -

I found my thrill on blueberry hill

On blueberry hill when I found you

The moon stood still on blueberry hill

And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those vows we made

Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still

For you were my thrill on blueberry hill

The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those vows we made

Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still

For you were my thrill on blueberry hill
