CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU - (1963/1980)

 

In 1963 Andy Williams brought out this album called "Days of Wine and Roses." Andy wasn't always that cool, and he seemed more like an Uncle than anything else, but there was a big hit on this record called "Can't Get Used To Losing You" that was Number Two on The Billboard Charts for four weeks back in the day because it was semi-cool.

This is how that song affected the ladies back then.

 

Who would have ever thought a band as cool as The Beat would cover a song like this, and make it their own, and not a parody, but in 1980, that's exactly what they did.

The Beat were later sued for their name by another band called The Beat, so most people know them as The English Beat.

Thank Rich for the idea.
