“Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, how they sparkle
But what can they do to warm your soul?
When you’re lonesome in the moonlight, and need some lovin’
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, are so cold.”
—Earl J. Carson, from Big Blue Diamonds, first recorded by Little Willie John in 1962. Covered by Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs in 1965, and Jerry Lee Lewis in 1973.
