I don’t know how I discovered Percy Mayfield, I must have read about him somewhere. I knew his songs, this one particularly, which was a hit in 1950 and which has been covered by just about everyone in the world. For instance, the Grateful Dead (according to the Wikipedia, though I couldn’t find a clip of that one). He’s written many other wonderful songs, with terrific melodies and simple but ambitious words, and I think he has a terrific, warm and open voice, too. If you didn’t know about Percy Mayfield before, now you do.
You can’t post Night Music during the day. It’s against the rules.
It was night music. I forgot to press POST last night, so I backdated it today. It has the spirit of the night. Thanks for keeping track.
