Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I think it's
time for a sad old love song - but then, I almost always think it's time for a
sad old love song.
BONUS - For Your Precious Love - Jerry Butler and the Inspirations, 1958
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_your_precious_love:
"For Your Precious Love" is a song written by Arthur Brooks, Richard Brooks and Jerry Butler, and performed by Butlers' group The Impressions in 1958. It was released as a single on Vee-Jay Records and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Best Sellers in Stores and Top 100 charts. The song was ranked as the 327th greatest song of all-time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004.
