Song of the Day: "A Young Girl"

ARTIST: Noel Harrison
TITLE: "A Young Girl"
YEAR: 1965

Noel Harrison's minor 1965 hit "A Young Girl" was an English adaptation of a Charles Aznavour song. It's one of those lost 1960s tunes that should be getting some replay, but in general is simply forgotten. Shame, because it's a good song. A fine examples of the folky happenings of the time.

The song can be heard here. The eponymous album which contained it will be released on CD on 22 April of this year.

As a bonus, here's the Dutch adaptation that became a hit the same year as Harrison's, as performed by Boudewijn de Groot.
