Battle of the Bands ~ Leave Me Be

I think most of you know by now that I had a car accident. For the record, I'm really very good. My right ankle is still a bit swollen, but I've been doing my foot exercises and walking on it, so it really doesn't hurt any longer. The only lingering pain is in my lower back. I'm hopeful with a few more weeks of rehab (and a medical massage or two) and those muscles will decide to relax and stop trying to protect my spine from an injury that has long passed.

If you missed the photo of my wrecked car, here it is:

This is the car I just bought. It's so pretty!

I've been fooling with this since 2/28 (day of accident). Life is moving at the speed of light. Or is sound faster? Whichever one is faster, that's the rate at which we're going here. I can't believe it's time for Battle of the Bands. Again.

I'm not prepared with a soundtrack story for you today. Sorry. But, I will tell you that a couple of battles back Jeffrey Scott posted a Sonny and Cher song on his battle (I Got You, Babe). That took me way back to my childhood, because I had several Sonny and Cher albums. My mom was an avid garage seller, so even though it was the 70s, she bought many records for my turntable from the 50s and 60s. I planned to link a song to Jeffrey on his battle of a Sonny and Cher song that I particularly liked until I saw on YouTube that it was a cover.

And a new Battle of the Bands idea was born.

The song is called Leave Me Be. I think The Zombies recorded this song first, and then Sonny and Cher covered it. So, I'll load it for you that way.

Take it away, Zombies...


And that brings us to the cover by Sonny and Cher...


Please vote for the version of this song you prefer. If you want to get into the Ins and Outs of why you like one better than the other... I LOVE long comments!
