Lyrics
A little love
Slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day
With hopes up to the skies
Not a day that comes and dies
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down
Oh, show me that you care
Remember when you give
You also get your share
Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come
When dreamers dream too late
A little love
Slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day
With hopes up to the skies
Not one that comes and dies
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down
Oh, show me that you care
Remember when you give
You also get your share
Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come
When dreamers dream too late
A little love
Slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

Song was a big hit in Ja by our own Jimmy London some 4-5 years before that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuhG4iiMgQo

Nice version that by Kelly Shane. Yes, sweet vocals by her, and interesting mix of Nyahbinghi and pop for the backup.

Yeah, I love the take!

Disappeared from the scene without much write-up! I listened to him as a little bwoy!

In reply to JayMor
Yeh but Jimmy did not change the name

In reply to JayMor
Was written in 1955- still most of the covers I found use the correct title

In reply to Chrissy

nice

With no death reported on Wikipedia, we can assume he's still alive. Most likely in England. In fact, here's a happy birthday thread for Jimmy on FaceBook late last year.

Poking around the Web for info on him-- I had no idea he had so many recordings and stayed active so late.

Alrighty then, I'll tell him to do so next time, seen?
