I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Artist: Alma Cogan

Album: The Ultimate Latin Album

Song Length: 2:40

George's Thoughts: I would have thought this popular Jazz tune would be near impossible to make into a Cha Cha Cha number, but Alma Cogan has done a masterful job. Her 18 chart hits were a record for a female singer at the end of the 1950's in England. Retains its 60's-style Jazz flavoring yet with a very distinctive Cha Cha beat. Nice.

Song Lyrics:

I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the one thing I've got plenty of, baby
I dreaming awhile, scheming a while you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you always pine for

Gee it's nice to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby
Till the lucky day you know darn well, well baby
I can't give you anything but love
