Don Fardon -- "I'm Alive"

Just about every band has recorded this song--or at least they should have--from Tommy James and the Shonedells to Tom Jones. But I like this version. Coupled with period shots from the 60s, this makes for a great video.

Never heard of Don Fardon. But apparently he also recorded Indian Reservation, which is a great song. Cherokee people, cherokee tribe! Sung by white guy from England. Love it.

I like his version of Indian Reservation better than the more familiar one of Paul Revere and the Raiders.

I remember hearing this one on WLS out of Chicago at least 1,000 times.
