...that day I'll always remember, Yes I will, cause that was the day my daddy died!
By the Temptations in 73 and again in 87 and was also covered by Was (not was) in 90...A song which must be up in the running for longest intro of any chart song.
And that reminds me, my mate told me I could remember her birthday because of that line, so if you'll excuse me, I've got a birthday card to purchase...
