1974 song "Some Kind of Wonderful",but did you know there is a DIFFERENT version of "Some Kind of Wonderful"from 1961 by The Drifters?The Drifters' version is kind of romantic,a slow-paced song ...and here are some of the lyrics,written by Carole King(yes,THE Carole King) and her husband at the time,Gerry Goffin..."Wonderful...Wonderful...Wonderful......(sound of booming drum..) All you have to do is touch my hand....to show me you understand.....And something happens to me...that's some kind of wonderful..."?This version is a really beautiful song that got only as high as #32 in 1961. Anyone ever heard this version ?

I never heard of The Drifters version. My favorite GFR songs were Loco-motion and Were An American Band

Grank Funk's version of this tune is a cover. It was originally done by The Soul Brothers Six in 1967.
