Red Red Wine

I have been thinking of what decade in music to cover for awhile. Or for that matter what song. Today I was looking for a site that offers a wine of the month club for a friend and one of the sites had the song “Red, Red Wine” by UB40playing. I have always liked this song very much but had forgotten about it until I stumbled onto the site playing it in the background.

Red Red Wine was originally by Neil Diamond but in 1984 UB40 covered it and in 1998 it was a number one hit. Neil’s version hit number 63 in 1968.
Below you will find the UB40 hit and also the original by Neil Diamond.
