I agree with Mitchchavis, I think the Drifters' is the best version, shows my age. Interestingly, there is an AM radio and an FM radio version of the song by the Drifters ("falling in love" for AM, "making love" for FM). My men's harmony quartet does a nice acapella version of the song, but we haven't recorded :^).
Under the Boardwalk
My favorite cover of "Under the Boardwalk" is Rickie Lee Jones' version from her 'Girl at Her Volcano' LP.
However, I was in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on business, and I heard another cover of this song on the radio station that was preset in the rental car. It was really quite good (though still not as good, IMHO, as Rickie Lee's). Of course, the radio station did not identify who it was.
So, my questions are these: What is your favorite version of Under the Boardwalk? What is the best recording of Under the Boardwalk (other than Rickie Lee)?
Thanks.
