Poor Side Of Town

A while back this great Johnny River's song
came up here, because 2 great artists had redone it.

Not only was the steeler wished to be known,
but also, who was that great female singer?

I went searching, and still am.

Please help.

Let me know both, if you will.

Thanks....

Jon, Did you do this one ? The steel sounds great.

Thank you Bob H and Richard B.

Johnny's version was without equal. Back then, a lot of us liked the song, cuz we liked Johnny Rivers. But, then some of us realized, gosh, there's a real message of sorts here.

And for the anti-hero, Laura, to come back with a truly tear-jerker rendition (and the great steel, as well)----GHEEZ.....

What can you say? I was truly moved by her great rendition. The beautiful steel played a big part in this song; and so did Laura's sultry vocals.

A beautiful mysogony? Is that the right term?

Oh well....thanks again fellas

Six string guitarist, Johnny A, has a nice instrumental version of this tune on his new CD.
