Johnny Tillotson.....Lonely street

[anjelina1940]

Did everyone forget the everly's version...?

[littlebitmore2]

Beautiful, haven't heard this song for a long time, thank you for bringing back a beautiful oldie

[aniger33334]

Well, if you like this type of music - OK. But calling this "rock'n'roll is a silly joke.

[barrygioportmorien1]

@aniger33334

Do you even know what Rock n' Roll really is?. and who the Rock n' Roll singers are, or the era of Rock n' Roll?.

Elvis is Rock n' Roll and he sang ballads.

[mebanedeac47]

I did not realize that so many artists recorded this song. Great ballad. IMO it comes down to Williams or Tillotson.

[haverstock1888]

The great CARL BELEW wrote and recorder this cllasic Thomas Haverstock

[fitzpjo]

Ray Price recorded this song in 1957

[zaaritha]

Good!

Was George Jones version the original?

[barrygioportmorien1]

@zaaritha

I believe the original was by Andy Williams.

[siloflo]

@barrygioportmorien1 That's right

[SandBugs]

Andy Williams also has a wonderful version of "Lonely Street". Tillotson, an icon of my youth , , , , , the 50's and early 60's. . . . . wonderful, smooth, dreamy, non-violent MUSIC, with unmatched lyrics.

[65hendy]

not bad,but think Gene Vincents version is better.

[WendyKS93]

I've always been a big Johnny Tillotson fan. He also comes from my hometown. Never got to see him perform in person though.

[e1999mirror]

golden age of music 60's

[mazmochan]

did tammy wynnette not have a version of this song ????

[yedon68]

@mazmochan ..Yes on her *divorce* album...excellent version too..!

[SilverFoxNo1]

I like Johnny Tillitoson very Much.

but for Johnny its the same like for any other Singer who sing Lonely Street. Nobody can mess up with Gene Vincent's beautifully Version of Lonely Street. Gene Voice broke my Heart every Day.

[estelle715]

This is just a great song,and Johnny's voice is beautiful,clear voice!

[bassingal89]

[franklindavid]

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Beautiful -- and what a voice. Love songs will never sound like these ones from the 60's.....sweeet!

[yedon68]

patsy cline...has a chilling version of lonely street....!

[Sugarbehr1967]

Sorry to say mac..Andy Williams covered this much earlier..and his version is the definitive track..his vocals are haunting and powerful..as for Johnny Tillotson..his version is absolutely fantastic..same music with the same dedication to the lyrics..it's a worthy remake, worthy of Johnny's talent and class

[duhaney60]

Great voice

[dandyu]

hard to beat this voice , but so many from the past i love , this is a big favorite to me

and so enjoyable

thanks cheers

[lonelystreet]

wow, a song the same as my tag! i never heard this song before, like it! lonelystreet:)

[barrygioportmorien1]

And sung by one of the best voices ever.

[barrygioportmorien1]

I was able to see him twice here in Canada, in the 60's and the 80's. He is still touring.

[tpage6]

OK, but once George Jones sings a song, it's his!

[barrygioportmorien1]

That's one man's opinion.

[dancingdjdj]

@barrygioportmorien1 And that was his opinion.

[StrangeLittleGirl4]

aww this is such a song for a Lost Love, it's still played in my area but i guess it is

60's era? Gets ya right in the heart. Or the tears.

[zaaritha]

Good version!

[Aphidboy]

Wonderful. The lad has a voice like a trumpet.

Nice, slow, and understated. Real fine.
