The Beautiful South were a British pop group formed in 1989, from the ashes of Hull, England group The Housemartins. The band was put together by lead singer, Paul Heaton, and drummer, Dave Hemingway. They were joined by Sean Welch (Bass), Dave Stead (Drums) and Dave Rotheray (Guitar). Rotheray also co-writes the songs with Heaton.
In The Beautiful South, Heaton shared the lead singer's role with Hemingway and female singer Briana Corrigan to create a trio of lead vocalists.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Nobody seems to have chorded an accurate and simple version of this song or "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by the Mamas and Papas, so I did them both. Maybe this will help US- Franco relations!
Thanks to Petitangegris for Version 5 (the closest version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me"), and Professor Jacques Bereaud of Cornell University for the lyrics, compiled by: [email protected] merci beaucoup!
