Johnny Burnette - Moody River

[Lunatula]

I like Pat Boone's version a little better But Johnnys isn't half bad.

[bikerkieth]

i just love these oldies much much better then the modern songs at least these artist can sing

[glipzik]

I never could make out that first line until I saw it in print. I can't tell you how many years I went around scratching my head and interpreting what he was saying.

@glipzik Moody river, more deadly than the bladest knife?

[TheDJGrandPa]

@SirBasildeBrush Vainest*

[Covellos1]

This is my favorite version of this..I love Johhny's version.

[kassullaonasiaa]

How can somebody dislike Johnny Burnette?

[tonywsmith2]

Of course, this version is better than Pat Boone's. Anything Johnny or Dorsey Burnette did was necessarily better Pat Boone's best effort.

[54living]

Simple but very good indeed. Thank you for up load.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@54living Thanks. A great cover.

[BoZzBiH16]

@SirBasildeBrush: Thank you for Upload.

GOD BLESS YOU! xD

[SirBasildeBrush]

@BoZzBiH16 ...and thanks for listening.

[bertiejr]

i'm leaning towards pat boone. he hits some notes i don't expect from him,,,like a little more oomph instead of vanilla. they're both real similar, though.

[zaaritha]

Also a good version!

[jkoncz]

@zaaritha they are both close I like this one cause pat boone stole so many artists hits?

[atrotroa]

Check the version of John Fogerty (on The Blue Ridge Rangers - Rides Again), it's far better than this one. Nevertheless the tune is great and catchy, keeps a-haunting my brain even in situations where this is not appropriate ....

[firenzefreak]

This is indeed a great song; takes me back to my youth. So sad he died so young.

[qantace]

I heard this for the first time and love this song

very much.

[SirBasildeBrush]

My pleasure.

[tomcat1234beale]

Good one. I like it better than Pat's.

[babeofelvis]

I agree. I like tis version better than Pat's. His is good, but this version is the one I heard as a kid.

[roanoke703]

I agree!! This is my fave version of this song.

[hrpman]

Strange - I was listening to Pat Boone's version in my car this teatime. I think Pat has by far the better voice but JB does a good job here - tricky decison, indeed.

[stjohn832]

Personally, I like it better than Pat Boone's version

[SirBasildeBrush]

Tricky decision.

[LaVerne37]

Believe it or not, Johnny's unlit fishing boat was struck at a California lake in 1964 and he did indeed drown...

how strange...and sad, he was only 30.

great version...thanks for posting.

[SirBasildeBrush]

The sad irony did occur to me when I posted.

[countrysinger1952]

I remember reading about this in the newspaper when it happened. I was 12 years old at the time but I was a big fan of his. So sad!

[crawfishep]

check out the Chase Webster version--it too is good

[SirBasildeBrush]

I just did thanks , nice version - more country-style.
