Music Trivia - The Crying Game.

[f.sciarrillo]

We all know that Boy George recorded the song for the movie. But how many knew it was a remake? Can you tell me this three part question?

Who originally did it?
What year was it originally released?
and
What famous guitar player played on the original?

Good music trivie question. I know the answer but I will let somebody else answer it.

I think it is a tough one, Duaine. I know that someone has to know it, though.

1. Dave Berry
2. 1964
3. That would be one James Page. Jimmy Page, soon to be of the Yardbirds and later on, guitarist for some tiny band called Led Zeppelin.

That is right, Kevin.

Here is Dave Berry singing it in 1965.

Shortly after Dave Berry had a Top 5 British hit with The Crying Game, Brenda Lee recorded it but did not have a hit with the song even though her version is also good.
