The original is Neil Diamond tho. This is a cover. Better than he original but not original

Totally

it was satirical Vince. That's Vic Chestnutt a powerful folk singer in his own right.

The Police - Punk?? I saw them when they were just hitting the top billing (late 70’s/early 80’s) at the Lyceum, London and they were never considered Punk, more Punk’s companion “New Wave”. Now, their support on that night, The Cramps, they were punk! (And the Pistols, Stranglers, Clash, XTC, The Ruts, The Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex, Sham…etc etc ) These guys are playing 60’s soft rock right here - a good tune, but Not punk! (And as said elsewhere, useless and slanderous intro: if that guy was worth some money, there’s a case there!!!)

@@Tanganyikajack8313 Well Sting said punk. I agree, more New Wave. I wouldn't say The Clash was "punk" either. To me most punk is a bunch of goofs who never bothered to learn how to play or sing. Take Nirvana, the best guitarist in the band ended up being the drummer. Kurt Cobain got much better after he died. RS magazine had him in the top 10. WTF? I'm better than he was. Take Care! (I'm jealous, I've seen 100's of concerts but never The Police, Queen, or Dire Straits, now that's a guitar player)
