Kay Starr (Live) & Brenda Lee - Side By Side

Our second Kay Starr comparison video. Lyrics below Oh we ain't got a barrel of mon-ey Maybe we're ragged and fun-ny But we'll travel along Singing a song Side by side Don't know what's a'coming tomor-row Maybe it's trouble and sor-row But we'll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we're together It really doesn't matter at all Now they've all had their quarrels and part-ed We'll be the same as we start-ed Just traveling along Singing a song Side by side See that sun in the morning Peakin' over the hill I'll betcha' sure it always has Ans it always will Well how I feel about someone somebody crazy for me We're so in love with each other And that;s the way it's gotta be (For Kay - repeat the first four stanzas) Composed by Harry Woods. He wrote numerous 1920s standards, including "When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)", "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover", and "Try a Little Tenderness". Woods composed his songs on piano, despite the fact that he was born without fingers on his left hand. Notes: The song dates to 1927 and was recorded by many, but Starr's version in 1953 was the biggest hit and the most imitated. It reached #3 on the US Billboard chart as well as the top ten in the UK. Brenda recorded it on January 26, 1959. She was only 14 and, in fact, just barely that, her birthday being about 6 weeks before the recording date. She demonstrated an ability to reel off fresh takes of classic songs for her first album entitled "Grandma, What Great Songs You Sang!" which was released August 3, 1959. This ability was used frequently in the years to come to fill up albums with older songs that Brenda liked. 0:00 Kay Starr 2:54 Brenda Lee 5:07 Links
