Song of the day - 11: Dandy Livingstone



Much as I, Charlotte and Isaac love The Specials - and we do, trust me, we do - and much as I, Charlotte and Isaac love the Specials' version of this particular song, I've gotta confess something to you right here, right now.

We love the 1967 original featuring trombonist Rico Rodriguez even more.

    Didn't Dandy Livingstone record Brandy before Manilow bastardised it into Mandy? Or was that Clancy Eccles?
