That 'little town flirt,' became my steady date summer of '63. She wasn't a 'slut,' just spunky and bubbly, naturally attracting the eager affection of the guys. I had this puppy dog love for this gal, but couldn't get up enough nerve to approach her for the longest time. Then one day she sat all alone in the corner booth at Dane's Soda Shop, staring out a window, face full of tears. Where Jockboy Greg had made a mistake, I eased in next to her and did the right thing. Married now 44 years.
Next only to the master Roy Orbison, Del was one of the greatest singer song writers of all time , I never get tired of playing their songs, they will never be equalled.
Everytime I here this---I go straight back to 1963 and my first date with a really cute little blonde in the office. I kept trying for weeks to get her to say yes, trouble was, she had about 10 other young guys after her too. Oh yes--it was worth it!
@gord47100 I just don't believe that Del killed himself; I believe it was an accident and the doctor who ruled it a suicide was just to dumb to know the difference.
Such a beautiful song & how sad it was so underrated & unappreciated during its run in the charts. I'm a baby boomer born in 52,so the 60's was truly a golden era for me(& I'm sure those of you out there too). I can tell you,for a kid growing up in NYC classic stuff like this carved a groove in my heart & soul forever. The soul Del has when he sings "she plays around......."goes right to the core. Listen to him double tracking his vocals too. The man was absolutely amazing !! Thanks for posting.
@peeterpoon He was disapointed in the record ginny in the mirror because he didnt write it he didnt want to record it but he was forced into it he though it slowed down his momentum
NO SONG effects me as this one does for reasons I can't identify......
