Subject: Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods

Written By: whistledog on 04/21/06 at 11:01 pm

I like Who Do Think You Are the best, but then again, I love every version of that song.  It's great :)

It was originally a UK hit for Candlewick Green, then Bo Donaldson had the North American hit with it, then in 1993 came what I think is the best version ever by Saint Etienne

It was a hit for both artists.  In the United States, the Paper Lace version never made it into the Top 40, but Bo Donaldson took it to #1

I went with "Who Do You Think You Are." I think Paper Lace's original version of "Billy - Don't Be a Hero" is better than Bo's. That one peaked at #96 in the USA.
