Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I love her

[Expectadorable]

Gracias.

[limpfisch]

Lets summarise this song.

Tommy wants to buy Laura a wedding ring which he cannot afford.

So he enters a stock car race.

He doesn't even consult Laura about it, he just tells her mother.

He drives to the race, he is the youngest driver there.

He mysteriously crashes.

The end.

How can anybody think this is good? I could write these lyrics in 5 minutes, what a pathetic story. bom bom bom bom.

[WVUgirl1990]

My parents named me after this song but they change how my name is spelt...lora

[seyfidemir]

Ray was a vary dear like dad in my life - he was a wondeful man and some one that knew Jesus and as I live in his home he was a mentor that help change my life in many ways. Thank you my dear Ray and I know your blessed in the arms of the Lord. Your Bro Son Like Gary (Austraila)

[felice37]

i like laura

[rabbitshit1]

i do banger racing and this song goes through my head everytime im lining up to see the green flag, very emotional song even more so when you actually do loose controll its a horrible feeling and scary to say the least that it could be me singing this song 1 day

[kingj2038]

This song is awful.  I like old music, but how was this ever popular? Terrible lyrics, no melody, just dumb.

[Vextah]

@kingj2038 i'm 32 yrs old i class this as an outstanding classic, you sir are just a complete dumb arse, how you can say that about this is just unbelievable... gtfo....

[musicbox193]

@kingj2038 so from what i can tell it's not the fact that it involves death that you don't like this song

[littlemuffin2011]

it's about me ;D♥..

[fntime]

Not the original!

[italiangirl9696]

My grandma's name is Laura and my grandpa's name was Thomas. My name is Laura too!

[SortofSerious]

ray peterson has kind of a funny shaped head. (also this is pretty sad)

[unprofessionalemail]

Tripping balls on acid, this is an old favorite, keep it old school

[oOTeRRaCeOo]

Schöner Wurlitzer *__*

[smallvillify]

this song was banned off radio when it first came out

[ecowoman51]

einfach schön

[ajweberman]

Laura was the twisted wreck

[lauritaxxxful]

te amo agustin :3

[Roxas7234]

My girlfriends name is Laura :3

[ceylon1964]

This song was introduced to me by my best girlfriend ever, she was the one that got away, the love of my life, I am now in my 70th year and still think of her god I miss her. Every time i hear this song my heart aches terribly.

[TheFlaskpost]

@ceylon1964 Thats realy love! :¨( I understand you.

[e45359ab]

A really sad story that I have had come across.

[Steinbach1984]

Lovely over-the-top tear jerker. Great to sing along with!

[Grifiki]

"So where is the original?? Not this guy, but the one who sold it to the world??"

[cs100443]

belle melodie super

[italiangirl9696]

My grandma's name is Laura, and her ex-husband was named Tommy. He died a few years ago. Also, my name is Laura too!

[LancetTrooper]

An alltime tearjerker ...

[medicoenamorado]

Hermosa cancion que relata una tragica historia de amor,en pocas letras un amor que va de la alegria a la tristeza pero se mantiene incolume con la promesa final.Simplemente conmovedor.

[Honey059]

Usually I like the original more than the re-recording but in this case, I felt this recording is better than the original. In this version his voice is clearer and the music is more in time with the beat and the backup bass singer is better too. So all in all great song.

[zappaface]

this song suckssssss bum-bum-bum-bum

[hendunel]

When this song first was released in 1960 it was banned in Britain. How foolish.

[jargoben]

wonder how many times this song has been covered ?

[leonardown]

no mames esta exelente no fue de mis tiempos pero me encanta

[XflowerblahblahX]

Ray is so handsome <3 I love him, even tho im only 15.

[steve71sg]

tragic story.....



[bobmuse40]

Thank you for this video

[LandiTaka]

"dile a Laura que la quiero", una de mis canciones preferidas que ya forman la BSO (Banda Sonora Original) de mi vida entre otras, años 50/60 una década de cambios y despertares, lastima que dure tan poco tiempo, creo que se la podia haber sacado un poco mas vista ahora años después, en aquella época la mayoría de los temas no debian sobrepasar los 3 minutos de duración para que ocuparan un single de 45 rpm, a pesar de ello una gran canción para muchos de los 45 años en adelante, jejeje, :-)

[TheJunglehike]

OMG.. this is one of the best song.......I remember listening when I was a little girl. Where was I then? In Borneo..! Love it...!

[roobina1000]

τι καρδια αγκιναρα ειναι αυτη; μια την corinna μια την laura, ολες χωρανε! χαχα... πλακιτσα! να εκτιμουμε την καλη μουσικη γιατι αυτη ειναι μουσικη!!!

[poisonivy10188371883]

Beautiful classic oldies song!

[GarethVonGrim]

The original Vinal of this is a collectors item because after it was released it was quickly taken from the shelves as a resalt of teen suicides around the country

[bksghsts1026]

this song made me cry when I was younger

[marjjz]

,,,an old song that makes me inlove whatever young i am and old Tommy....

[RowanFiretamer]

I think 4 people are named Tommy.

On another not, this is an awesome song that I got my boyfriend to listen to. He liked it too. <3

[MrSayaMaria]

[Tomnickles]

Great song

[OkieDokie306]

This is one of the original "splatter platters"

[sunny56763]

I was singing this sone one day when my Daughter in-law was over and she started crying. sad song but still a good one!!

[MrMpalmer33]

My father used to play this to my sister and I when we were kids to terrorise us. It worked all too well.

[m1kewithaone]

my dad hated this song. ... that's sad....

[lordDanjai]

Laura was my big love one time, she never love me but still... Tell Laura I love her...

[m1kewithaone]

@lordDanjai i don't think i've ever known a laura, but i think i like the name. say it over, out loud. it sounds nice. i bet she was pretty. i knew a donna, and an april, nice names. but they both screwed me over so, i don't know, you may want to stay away from them...

[lordDanjai]

@m1kewithaone i wanna stay so long from her but at the same time so close to her but life isn't easy, people makes your choices and take diferent paths...

[m1kewithaone]

@lordDanjai yes i understand. i made that mistake once. i was 16, with debbie, and i've never forgiven myself for breaking up with her. we were just too young, but she still was the best girlfriend i ever had. we were nothing but happy, and everything thing we did, was for each other. ...

[70greenfrog]

I remember listening to this song on 8 track with my daddy. He left earth when I was 7. I still see his smiling face every time I hear it!

[thedahansetiawan]

i loveeeeeee it

[divemtr]

I was in high school when this came out, no love affair, but 2 kids died this way. Good song tho.

[alpesedelweiss]

I am fairly certain that I never looked as young as Ray Peterson looked in the picture at 0:30 - 0:54! What a guy! Boomarzo thanks for the upload! I saw him live witha host of others at a 60's rock&roll show, and he stole it, quite the performer!
