...Cavaliers in 1964, Last Kiss is on the compilation album No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees. Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder decided to cover the tune after finding a 45 of it in an antiques store. It's a spare, morose song with Vedder's voice warbling lovelorn over a straight-ahead drum beat.
