| Description: |
In November of 1966 "Poor Side of Town" reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the RPM Canadian Chart. There were two versions of this song released. The single edit version fades out earlier, in order to avoid repetition, due to its length, following the repeated lyric line: "Oh with you by my side". The longer version goes on, finishing up the verse, and following the repeated guitar riff, repeats the sung introduction of the scatting, before the song fades out. The version I did here is the longer one. Back in 2016 I did a CD for "Playing for Change" a charity group I work with. The CD was titled "Then" and it included 12 #1 songs from 1963 to 1969. This was track 2. |
