  • Thumbs up if your here because of 11/22/63

  • We had Troy in Lima, Ohio live in performance while this was still on the chart! Simple enough instrumentation that the band was able to about emulate the record studio sound. Not often you get that. 

  • Troy plays piano live. Maybe he played it here as well.

    Thank you;

    Do Wop Rich

  • Half a century just kinda melts away.....Loved this song in 8th grade, love it now at 65. Cool, how music can do that. Hope you're still out there singing, Troy.

  • A thorough websearch on Shondell and his song will give you all the information you need.

  • I'd like to know too.....

  • Perfect !!!!!!!!!!! I know it was a long time ago, but does anyone know who is playing the piano ?

  • Perfect! original version! thanks!

  • Esta es la versión real,con ése solo de piano incomparable.El sello fué "Liberty Records" ,en Chile salió bajo el sello "Vivart".Gracias por poner el original.

  • Yep-Troy got embarrassed about it later and covered with crap-

    the raw piano is what makes this song!

  • Thank Heavens that this one does not have any dubbed in sax or guitar over the perfect piano in the instrumental break.

  • Thanks so much for posting this song. love it

  • I'm not really into ballads but, I've always loved this classic

  • I love the vibraphone in this song.

  • Great- was this before or after the big label release?

    Actually on his website- he covers up the piano solo with a stupid sax part.

    Sounds like another track was added there

  • Great- was this before or after the big label release?

  • Thanks for sharing this golden oldie, phunky!

  • I prefer the version of Mr. Presley from 1969 :)

  • @musicfriend01... And I prefer the version of Shakin´ Stevens!!
