Night Train

Die Komposition "Night Train" hat so ihre eigene Geschichte, die man hier in kurzen Worten nachlesen kann: (links klicken)

Da dieser Titel auch x-mal gecovert wurde, wäre ein Songtitel-Forum sicher angebracht, weshalb ich jetzt eines einrichte, aber vorher noch die Eckdaten:

Beim durchchecken meiner Aufzeichnungen tauchten natürlich auch jene "Night Trains" auf, die nicht von Jimmy Forrest stammten. Ich habe sie aber nicht übersprungen, sondern sie für dieses Songtitel-Forum aufgehoben. Damit hat man eine Vergleichsmöglichkeit und kann Verwechslungen weitestgehend ausschließen.
