Wise Music Tune of the Week: Every Day I Have To Cry

‘Every Day I Have to Cry’ is a soulful, melancholic tune originally written and recorded by Arthur Alexander in 1962. The song stands out for its simple yet emotionally resonant lyrics, capturing the heartache of unrequited love and daily sorrow.

Though Alexander penned it, the song gained wider recognition through later versions, most notably by Steve Alaimo in 1963 and has since been covered by Dusty Springfield, Ike and Tina Turner.
