Use of the Trumpet by Fine Young Cannibals

Here's a song for the trumpet players.

Remakes rarely do justice to the original, but in 1986, the band Fine Young Cannibals released an awesome remake of Elvis Presley's 1969 "Suspicious Minds".

Simple percussion, some good guitar picking, the trumpet, and the highly unusual voice of Roland Gift makes this song worth a listen.

Note:  The black and white shooting of the video, the shiny suits that appear during the bridge, and the colorizing of those suits toward the end of the song were done as a tribute to the late Elvis.

Incidentally, we didn't hear much from Roland Gift after Fine Young Cannibals.  Here is a single he released in 2009:
