Song of the Day

"The Poor Side of Town", by Johnny Rivers, has fantastic backup vocals and strings.
Available on iTunes for 99 cents. (Not sure how to link that.)
Here are the lyrics.

How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein' must have put you down
So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town

To him you weren't nothin' but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And girl, it's hard to find nice things on the poor side of town

I can't blame you for trying
I'm trying to make it too
I've got one little hangup baby
I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side, they can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby, from the poor side of town

Backup vocalists: So tell me how much you love me
Committed to be and say you need me now
With you by my side, this world can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby, from the poor side of town
