Danny Boy
There is nothing like Jackie Wilson's cover of "Danny Boy." How many could've turned "Londonderry Air" into a gospel freakout? Get it, hear it, and go beyond.

About Me
- Name: Harry
- Location: Bay Area, CA
I'm languishing in a semi-state, hoping to write my way out of a paper bag. I yearn for the central coast beach shack of the mind while living in suburban California.

Where do I get it? My mom-in-law recorded "Danny Boy" when she was my (singer-songwriter) daughter's age.
Mom-in-law won't let anyone hear it, though - though she was thought to be a great singer back then - because her kids (including my husband) teased her unmercifully.
My daughter must have gotten her talent in the gene pool - or, there was a dreadful mix-up at the hospital.
I have it on a Jackie Wilson greatest hits collection. I'm sure it's on most of those. It's one of his great gymnastic vocals.
