Barbara Lynn
You'll Lose a Good Thing
Here's the original, sung by her in 1966
Editor's comment:
Bonnie submitted twelve songs, not ten. Additionally, there are numerous songs in Bonnie's Nora Brown
submission. In short, Bonnie broke the rules. However, since her choices are always so stellar, no editing will (can) take place. I'm reminded of the song about Lola... it's easy to substitute Bonnie for Lola... "whatever Bonnie wants (cha cha cha - pause) Bonnie gets (cha cha cha - pause)."
Having set the "Bonnie precedent," I'll now accept rule breaking (within reason) from all MixTapers. All ya'll are slaying and I'm thrilled you're indulging me on my little projects.
