--I Who Have Nothing~ Tom Jones (1974)--



"I (Who Have Nothing)" (sometimes billed as "I Who Have Nothing") is a song originally released by Ben E. King in 1963.

"I (Who Have Nothing)" is based on the Italian song "Uno dei tanti," (English: "One of Many") with music by Carlo Donida and lyrics by Giulio "Mogol" Rapetti. "Uno dei tanti" was released by Joe Sentieri in 1961. The lyrics for "I (Who Have Nothing)" were translated into English by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Some critics believe that part of this song's melody was later copied for "Nights in White Satin," released by the Moody Blues in 1967.
