Ray Sharpe - Linda Lu

[theburdenofspoof]

Ray Sharpe's one hit wonder. What a good tune!

[donluke578]

Don't remember this song from back in the day.......but I likes it alot......!!!!

[hhmarton95]

Tom Jones is better!

[hwgray]

@hhmarton95 Tom Jones is better than what? Than nothing?

[19dick68]

it's a pity the guitar is slowly fading out at the end, it should begin in the middle.

[juan58102]

This song will be heard for 1.000 years!! Love from Arica Chile!

[467110]

Ray is cool man

[paintedshipvinyards]

I'm a-gonna add this song to' Kansas City' as a medley....after I get the drummer to play that classic style that this guy is playin'....not many drummers know the lick these days....♫♫

[Angellinda11]

This is really my full name. o.0 Omg. This is weird. I just searched my name up on Google.

[srercrcr]

Oh Linda Lu, I Loooooove yu. 

[Kenbramham]

Buddy Holly could have made this a #1 hit if he'd lived long enough

[Khultan]

Man, what the hell?!? I've never heard of him before....thank you, Markowee. I would've surely gone to my grave never knowing....

ORIGINAL ROCK 'N ROLL DANCE CLUB! DJ Tall Mike

[IrvHyatt]

everyone's an expert LOL

This was IT!!!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

Never cared for it all that much back when believe you me. It's much the same with Be Bop a Lulu by Gene & Boni Maroni by Larry Williams, yet there tops in the music industry. I guess them the brakes, but then I don't believe in them anyway, I just refer to them & play what I want to play!, isn't it something no more dj's to put up with (whew).

[Khultan]

@Ezdduf4kuZ You were 12 years old in 1959. Ha ha ha!! : )

[hwgray]

@Ezdduf4kuZ "Never cared for it all that much back when" Really? So, who cares what you thought, then?

[strandwolf]

@hwgray He's WAY off his rocker...

[danhughart]

The way it was meant to be!

[strandwolf]

Yes Sir!

[mikeg298]

Simple rithens. No high tech crap . just real feelings!!!!

[titostacos]

How high did this get on the U.S. charts and what year?  I used to hear it in the mid sixties some...

[cozener1]

Addictive song!

[neva2old2rock]

Mary. Your taste is impeccable. Had this record got the marketing it deserved (In Britain) when it was released in 1959 it would have been a massive hit. For some reason it wasn't until 1961 that the so called 'Marketing Executives' realized what a great rock and Roll song this actually was. Suddenly they sent it out to all the radio stations to play, but by this time (late 1961) there was a new sound in Town called Beat and a new era had begun. Very sad for Ray Sharpe.

You'll never forget this classic...

[allaboard70]

This has been my favorite for so many years. Thanks so much for the downloud on YouTube and for share it with us!

[cherylharrell1961]

I didn't know he was black either. Great song here. I used to have an 8-track tape of him with this song on it but it somehow got lost after my dear hubby passed on from a heart attack in March. He liked this song too. Love you Mike...

[elvidom2]

This song Rocks and you know it Daddy!

[Alsurf89]

[onemikehart]

Duane Eddy, will release a Cd of all new material in the near future. Look for "Artifacts Of Twang" to also feature...Brian Setzer, Phil Everly and Griffen House.

[stevenfd123]

For fifty years I didn't know Ray Sharpe was black. What a great song. Thanks for the post and pics,

[showroomfloor]

One of the best songs ever...

[gangerollo]

I believe it's Ray sharpe's version that counts in the end.

[Bullethole]

Right out of Texas, Ray Sharpe is an original.

[twang73]

Produced by Lee Hazlewood, In Phoenix Arizona. Duane Eddy is playing the riff.

[masoncag]

Of all the versions i have heard, this has to be amongst the best.

[rdf1947]

What a classic from the 50s. I love it. Thanks.

[Teamnav]

[7rundle]

The original - and still the best by far. Thank you.
