The only time I saw Wally Lewis was in 1961, he was playing Bass with a Country Band in Tacoma, WA. The Steel players was Dusty Rhodes, Rollie Weber was the lead singer. The club was the Brittannica on Pacific Ave. in Tacoma. I requested he sing some of the songs that he previously recorded, bur he never would, he said that the band did not know them. The Brittannica Cabaret was the place that Buck Owens sing and play at in 1959.
In 1958 Wally Lewis released two versions of this record. The original was just his voice with instrumentation, the second was this record with backgroung singers. Surprisingly enough the record made Billboards Top 100 and was among the first Country and Western style records to be played on WIBG the largest and most popular record station, at that time, in the Delaware Valley Area.

I knew your uncle when he lived with Pete and Nadine Lewis in Baldwin Park, CA.
in the late 50's.
He was very talented. How long has he been gone?

1958 ... Wally Lewis recorded at Tally studio in Bakersfield Ca. for Fuzzy Owen and his cousin Lewis Talley. ( Tally Records) .
Tally studio and records were the starting
point for Merle Haggard. In 1962 Owen signed Haggard to Tally, producing the single "Skid Row."...

I saw Wally Lewis sing this song on Saturday Bandstand from New York City around May of 1958. It took me years to find this song; thanks for posting.
