Dance with my father again... original by Luther vandross




Cover by...


What I didn't know was that Richard Marx, actually co-wrote Dance with my Father.......how did I not know this :unsure:


 

Jerry Jeff Walker wrote "Mr. Bojangles" after meeting a homeless street performer, who used the name "Mr. Bojangles" to hide his identity, in a New Orleans jail cell where they were both incarcerated for public intoxication in 1965. The man told stories about his life and his dog, which moved Walker to write the song.

Whoa, I can't believe this one! (I'm loving secondhandsongs, Bret!) This is my all-time favorite Conway Twitty song... never heard anyone else do it. I liked John Prine when I was a teen, too... this is a treasure! @Bretrick

secondhandsongs is a truly useful site.
Along with versions there are adaptations and highlights.
Adaptations are artists who change the song in some way such as Johnny Scoggins - I'm Gonna Stay
Adaptations also provides foreign covers of the song.
Here is Finnish singer Olavi Virta singing He'll Have to Go.
Olavi was marketed as the Bing Crosby of Finland.
