There is a lot of unsung talent out there in the Land of YouTube. Check out the 'classic' covers by this cutie who goes by the name of Sayaka Alessandra:
Dream Lover. Che bella ragazza! Bobby Darin's original.
Then He Kissed Me. The Crystals' original with the famous Phil Spector 'wall of sound.' The Beach Boys' Then I Kissed Her.
Just One Look. The Doris Troy original. Yet another great tune from '63.
The lass is also a competent guitar player:
The Wanderer. A creditable version of the feminist anthem. Dion DiMucci's original. It takes a wop to sing this song right.
A Teenager in Love. Dion and the Belmonts' original. They guy has amazing staying power. He still looks and sounds good at 70+. I Wonder Why (2004). Wop, wop, wop, wop, wopwopwop. Is that why they call it 'do wop'?
