[GCastro55]

This is the good stuff....current pop music is so awful it's sad....

[ejdav]

@GCastro55 You are correct. To me, this is REALLY good stuff...and always will be, thank you.

[F33broker]

Fleetwoods did a good job but this original is the best !!!!

[ejdav]

@F33broker It certainly is...hands down.

[ejdav]

I knew Thomas was killed in a car accident, did his older brother die as well (in the accident)?...thank you for commenting.

[RickJ32]

this is a good song. It was sad what happened to the singer, and his older brother.

[ejdav]

Thank you for your comment.

[arizonaghost1]

my older brother's favorite song....from the class of 1959...R.I.P. Steve, we all miss you

This is a very special song for me. My first wife died in a off road accident in 1984 after being married 20 years. That pain is everlasting and this song always gets to me. Still tears of hurt whenever I listen to it and I'm 65yrs old now

[ejdav]

I know your pain, and thank you for commenting.

Almost all the posts of this song are the re-record, this is the original. I guess if you didn't live through that era, you might not know the difference...thank you for the reply.

I fell in love at my 1960 high school Christmas dance listening to this song and looking at my date, Beverly... too bad she did notfeel the same...

[ejdav]

Take heart, we all had our share of wanting the one that didn't feel the same...thanks for commenting.

One of the great ones from the 50's! Thanks for posting.

[ejdav]

You could almost listen to the radio 24/7 and not hear a bad tune...now I don't even turn it on...Thank you for your comment.

[ejdav]

I remember when this was released, couldn't wait to get my own copy...thank you for commenting.

[ejdav]

There will never be another!!...Thank you for commenting.

[voltaireandy]

"ejdav...There will never be another era like we shared in the 50's.." Boy you said it! We were lucky to have lived in that era.

[HighGradeFever2000]

Thank you so much for finding and sharing Thomas Wayne Perkin's soulful ballad, with the matching lyrics. I've listened to the other versions,later ones by him or others, including The Fleetwoods, and this original version edges out the The Fleetwoods by a nano.

[ejdav]

You are so right!!...thanks for commenting.

[ejdav]

Yes, I've loved this song ever since its release...Thank you for commenting.

[blkshepherd]

my mistake..this is the 1959 version i remember hearing from my crib..while i was only 3yrs old..but i remember this song as a baby..didnt know who or what was making this sound lol..but i loved it..made me drift off into sleep

[tbear4pa]

That's the original, and by far the best recording by Thomas Wayne and the Delons, which was in 1959 and was popular for about a year('59 & '60), then they had re-recorded that tune several years later in the 60's which doesn't sound nearly the same like the original recording. Other posted videos of that tune on here are the later re-recording by Thomas Wayne as well as a version by the Fleetwoods.

[ejdav]

Exactly...Thanks for commenting.

[Century25]

Yes..!! This is it.. I have it also.. I hope others can hear these great oldies.. before the greed of the few ruins it and removes all of 'our' music.. our history that we lived..!!

[ejdav]

There will never be another era like we shared in the 50's and 60's...Thank you for commenting.
