Mr. Bojangles is a very effective song, almost foolproof.
Different people bring different perspectives to it.
I first saw it done by Sammy Davis Junior.
Sammy was a great entertainer, but he also had good & plenty of real issues to sing the blues about when he chose to.

That’s really sweet. I never considered that for a wedding.

It is BH’s best song, but I prefer the vocals by other artists to his.

IMO, Sandy Patti’s National Anthem was better.

Agree about Bob Dylan. His voice is awful.

Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss was better than the Wayne Cochran original

My wife would agree.

Wild Horses by the Sundays -- better than the Stones

In My Life by Bette Midler -- (painfully must admit) better than the Beatles
