The Greatists Recordings of All-Time

57."Goodtime Charlies got the Blue's"-Danny O' Keefe

Despite the fact that "O Keefe" is a top notch singer-songwriter up there with
the best,as far as talent goes-this is the only track that ever got alot of traction-
as far as commercial success is concerned.Regardless,the song has been covered
so many times by so many artists-many,who took straight to the top of the charts
have no doubt made Danny a small fortune.It's what's known in the business as
an "evergreen".A song that repeatadly garners more income as more artists
cover and have success with it.You could even call it a standard as far as the
American Songbook is concerned.
Beautifully written-O' Keefe's version i believe captures the songs allure
in the best articualation and emoitional pull.I saw him play it live once and it was
truelly an amazing expierience.He's also one hell of of a nice fellow.
