Caravan of Love



"Caravan of Love" by the Housemartins from their album London 0 Hull 4
From the highest mountain, valley low
We'll all join together with hearts of gold
Now the children of the world can see
There's a better place for us to be
The place in which we were born
So neglected and torn apart
Turns out that this 1986 UK hit is an a capella version of an earlier slow R&B by Isley Jasper Isley (Listen here, if you wish.) Preferred the a capella, and was for a short time a fan of the Housemartins... and later on, a fan for a much longer time of its former member, Norman Cook, or Fatboy Slim for those of you who didn't know.
