If Elvis hadn't come along at about the same time, Sanford Clark, and possibly Jack Scott would both be household words today. They were both an incredible talent... Timing is everything!!
@JGMagoo I believe had Elvis not came along pop and rock would not have had it's leader and would've been the fad that the establishment were accusing it of being.
this brings back memories of riding around in melvin buccoli's black & yellow ford convertible in 1956, stopping to talk with the pretty girls and trying to date them next sat nite. now i wonder what she thought when i picked her up at her house in my prison grey 1950 chevy 4 door sedan instead of the almost new ford convertible for that date i wrangled the week before.
This was one of my faves from way back when. The song is a good match with Sanford's voice and style. Too bad he didn't come across as strong on some of his other recordings.
I also love that repetitive guitar riff

Totally dig that vintage 78 playing on a vintage vacuum tube record player. Cant get much more authentic than that.
