iReminisce... The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman



Growing up, Grease 2 was one of my favourite films ever. I think I saw it before the original and I prefer it to the original anyway! I remember arguing with Ms. Canada about the existence of this film, she was adamant that there was NO such thing lol... She ended up buying me the DVD for Valentine's day and I didn't open it because I wanted us to watch it together, needless to say, that boat sank and I might watch it today (by myself). Anyway Grease 2 is where I heard and fell in love with this record. Right now, I'd give anything to go back to that time and place in my mother's 3-bedroom flat in Festac Town, Lagos, Nigeria. Early 90s this was and nothing really mattered!

'Mr. Sandman' originally by The Chordettes has been covered over the years by the likes of Marvin Gaye (as his second single as a solo artist), The Supremes, Chet Atkins & The Puppini Sister. Let's listen to some of these renditions after the jump.
