Soft Cell had a big hit with it (and I also have a great rockabilly version it by Dave someone or other) but this is the orig ... bit of a Northern Soul standard too.
No idea how these images fit the song

Dave Philips & The Hot Rod Gang (I've still got the single, & the 'Wild Youth' LP it was taken from)
(the gorgeous) Imelda May has also done a great version


'Guitar Man' & 'A Thing Called Love', both wrote by Jerry Reed

Bollox @Fnaar , that was going to be my choice. Marc Almond's version is truly fabulous. The 12" version is even better

I'll have to go with this one. Not sure if Japan's version was a bigger hit or not but it's bloody good

Made famous by the Searchers, but released as a B side By Jackie DeShannon some months earlier. When the Searchers had a hit with it they re-released the DeShannon version but by then it was too late -

A hit for Susan Boyle, but the Stones wrote and performed the original as an album track in 1969 -

I loved the original Stones version still do, but this was a good cover.

A beautiful song pinched by a boy band.

 

[Fnaar]

Debbie Harry made it far sexier, but Randy and The Rainbows did Denise Denise (sic) many years before

 

[Venod]

Another one pinched by a boy band.

Bruce's Blinded by the light, made famous by Manfred Manns Earth Band,
