Treat Her Right

I found this clip of Roy Head doing this classic song. The 1960s censorship is a bit amusing, forcing him to change "She's gonna love you tonight" to "she's gonna kiss you tonight."




I also found a clip of Tom Jones covering the song on TV just a few years later. I know Tom has achieved a sort of retro cool. But really, compare his singing and dancing to Roy's and tell me that Tom had soul.
