To Love Somebody - Kun yksin kulkee


Danny recorded "Kun yksin kulkee" (When you're going on your own) in 1968 for his "Danny" album. It was released as a single, but it turned out to be one of the rare non-hit singles for Danny at the time. The original was a Bee Gees classic "To Love Somebody". The song was written in 1967 by Barry and Robin Gibb and it was originally meant to be a soul song for Otis Redding to record. Redding died in a plane crash before he could record it. So the Bee Gees decided to record their own version of the song with Barry taking the lead and the result was a pop classic. We present here a live performance of the song.

Here's the pair:

So, this is your week for someone to love? Great blog, many "long time no hear" and rare classics, I've been missing. Many of them are tracks, I've never heard before, even I tried to find the album or single where the hit might be. like El angel de la quarda or Immer mehr...
It's a sin, that some of your blogs doesn't work. Keep up the pobbin' spirit...

Well, this is actually a Finnpicks "rockin' week". All the entries represent more or less the rockier side of covers. Thank you for your kind words, Arrowman. I'll try to change all the un-working links to working Divshare -links this summer.
