Aka “Answer Me, Lord Above” and “Answer Me, My Love,” this was British singer Whitfield’s first major record hit. These original religiously-tinged lyrics were also recorded by Frankie Laine (also a #1 UK hit https://youtu.be/00uPMWDEeZE ), but the later secular update by Nat King Cole is the one that became a mainstream success in the U.S. (listen here: https://youtu.be/nVGt-qNQ4Os )

UK Chart Peak: 1 (NME)

Answer Me (Sigman-Winkler) by David Whitfield, orchestra conducted by Stanley Black .
