Re. Paul W. Dennis’ comment on “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again”:

The one that Tom Jones did, written by Jimmy Currie and Lonnie Donegan, was originally released acutally in the late summer of 1967, but only got up to #49 here. It was re-released in July 1969, and got up to #6 two months later.

I love “Fall Into Me” especially the climactic part with the “just before”‘s.

I forgot about “Take Me As I Am” by Faith and Sugarland, for those who mentioned them before. Now I have another entry to my creepy Sugarland list…

On the deluxe edition of Sugarland’s Love on the Inside is a ballad called “Fall into Me.” I was a bit worried that it was a remake of the Emerson Drive song from several years back, but it couldn’t be more different. I’m not a fan of the ED song, but I’ve probably listened to the Sugarland song more than any other cut on their album.

How many “Pilgrims” were there? Steve Earle, Marty Stuart and Merle Travis all had songs by that name (can’t pick a favourite!)

Cynthia,
Don’t forget that Carrie’s “I Told You So” was originally the Randy Travis song that Kevin was talking about.

I prefer the one from Jasper County.

J.R.,
I really like both of those Little Rock songs too.

There’s Keith Urban/Carrie Underwood “I Told You So”…I think I like the Keith one better, but both songs are the high points of their new albums.

My personal favorite is Trisha Yearwood/Trisha Yearwood “It’s Alright.” She recorded a song called “It’s Alright” for “Everybody Knows,” then another, different “It’s Alright” for “Jasper County.”

Wow Shakespeare’s Sister – haven’t thought of them in ages…BTW, one of their members Marcy Levy was the writer/harmony vocalist of Lay Down Sally, a Clapton song which Vince Gill says was the musical inspiration for One More Last Chance

“Lollipop” is a great song by Lil Wayne, the Chordettes, and Mika.

“If tomorrow never comes” is a good song by Snider and Garth

Right now, I can only think of one that hasn’t been mentioned: ‘Little Rock’ was a hit for Reba back in ’86. Hers was an up-tempo toe-tapper about the wife of a wealthy man who pays everything but attention to his wife … ‘He never calls me honey/but he sure loves his money/and I’m the one who pays the price’

Then in 1993, Collin Raye had a darkly beautiful number of the same title. His was the story of a man trying hard to put the pieces of his life back together that his affinity for liquor had shattered. In the process of getting clean – ‘I haven’t had a drink in nineteen days/my eyes are clear and bright without that haze’ – he comes to the conclusion that he is still in love with the lady he caused so much pain – ‘Lying here upon this motel bed/my thoughts of you explode inside my head/Like a castle built upon the sand/I let love crumble in my hand’

Both great songs that went to #1 (Collin actually peaked at #2 Billboard and #1 R&R), although that’s really the only similarity among them.
