"Go Now" came from the Moodies in the Denny Laine days, before Justin Hayward joined the band and completely changed their sound. Only Ray Thomas from the later band was with the Moodies in '65. The biggest problem with this recording is the fact that the engineer leaned on the volume pot too much, and Laine's voice distorts badly.

The irony is that one of Phil Spector's pet bands recorded the song at the same time, but the Moodies got their version out a week before.

Rock-and-roll waltzes are rare.

Do you think this song is sad?

Ray Charles ~ Cryin' Time

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' Oooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
(That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)

Indeed, they are, but here's one--Rock and Roll Waltz by Kay Starr.
