Some old but good eye openers for you this week.
Who needs Black Eyed Boy by Texas when instead you can have Black Eyes Blues by Esther Phillips?
You should all be familiar with the song Smoke Gets In Your Eyes which was a hit for both The Platters and the Lounge Lizard himself Bryan Ferry (and probably a good few more). I'm plumping for the version by the great blues/jazz diva Dinah Washington.
Finally I very much doubt whether anyone other than Wynonie Harris could pull off a song called Don't Roll These Bloodshot Eyes at Me.
More eyes, bloodshot or otherwise, next Monday.
