Monday Long Song

Just before the weekend, I chose the 1965 Billy Stewart classic 'Sitting in the Park' to soundtrack the fourth instalment of my Friday Photo series. I've been humming it ever since to be honest, so stand aside for the first version of the song I ever heard, originally released by Dr Alimantado (aka '...the doctor who was born for a purpose...') in 1977 and reissued as an extended 12" single on Greensleeves Records in 1979.

Love this song - I wrote about it a few years ago when I was yet again revisiting the year 1967. It was Georgie Fame who had a hit with it then but I discovered the Billy Stewart version too. Now here is another. Beautiful song.
