The only version of "The Tide is High" I used to know was from Atomic Kitten (the modern one). And I thought the original was from Blondie...But, to my surprise, "The Tide is High" was originally sung by The Paragons...and it's been around since...1966!!
I guess you really learn something every day. Thanks for the op @learnguitar! Cheers!
cool version, didn't know it was a cover, I wonder if it could go back further even?
