Comments
Just listen
I bought the 45 when it came out. I am 65 now, and I still cry when I hear it.
It might be thought of as a Rock Ballad, but there is just so much Soul in that voice.
That climax at 2:30 though! Phil's almost out-Spectoring himself!
Would say this is my all time favourite rock ballad / Spector did a great job plus the raw emotion in the vocals is superb. Thank you!
That sad violin at the end is killer
Love this song Paul Burgess
I dedicated black pearl to all the woman in the world
Thanks for digging this one out. I co-wrote it with Phil Spector & recorded it for the original Checkmates Ltd when I was the leader of the group.

wall of sound by the greatest PHIL SPECTOR..!!!! YES IT IS
My wife introduced me to this ,what a great track
What a great song. Never heard it before.
Mickey mouse could sing this song it's that beautiful, listened to several versions and they are all superb ❤️
Class all the way
I know its great but I preferred black pearl
Sorry Arthur your sooo wrong .... This is gorgeous xx
So good....takes your breath away.Bought the record nearly 50 years ago.
i always thought it shoulda been a double A
yes it was a single was the B side of Proud mary
omg was sooo talented and now will never see the light of day again
One of the few times when the original is NOT the best. This version blows Creedance one out the water.
An absolute powerhouse of a sound !!!!!
my favourite version
Thanks for the info xxx
I grew up with this version of the song, on a copy of Phil Spector's Greatest Hits. Such a great mix, terrific energy, and of course that wall of sound. Thanks for sharing it!
I'm very surprised. I've never heard this version before. It's obvious to me that Ike was influenced by this version, because he didn't care for the original.
Was this ever a single ??
First heard this on radio luxumbrg 1969 it was a blast then still his
