I first saw part of this song in a documentary about the Eurovision Song Contest some 20 years ago: a large, slightly sweaty man turning purple as he was belting out the last few seconds of this song. It makes the high notes of Johnny Logan look like kids stuff: here was the equivalent of Joe Cocker being strangled while having surgery at his prostrate while singing 'With a little help from my friends'.
The single was pretty hard to get, though. I wasn't prepared to pay too much for it so the few copies I ever saw I always passed on. Until this weekend! And indeed, on record these last few seconds still sound very impressive.
My collection: 7" single no. 5339 Found: Record fair, Utrecht, April 13, 2013 Cost: 2 euro Tracks: 'Born to sing' / 'Simple things in life'
Born to Sing does not appear to load in the music player but simple things does. Could you fix it as I would like to here this being a fan of the under rated singer Colm "CT"
