I still get a lump in my throat, whenever I hear the NA. Don't know if it's all the memories of playing ball, or whatever-but it still happens. All that has been given by so many, is reflected every time the song is sang.

Enjoy

That's a sweet version but Marvin Gaye is the best I've ever heard:

OK, appreciate the link and I did listen to the whole thing.

But................. That was the reason I posted the Cactus Cuties.

IMHO, I think the NA doesn't reflect what it's really intended to be, when an artist takes it and changes tempos and such. Hey, to each his own.

For me......... I'll take the old school stuff. I still wear my cap straight and britches are pulled up so you can't see my boxers.:nono:

OORAH!

Marvin Gaye was cool, and cooler-just not my fav rendition of the NA.
