[tommyl206]

I was born in 1948 and got to enjoy all of the hits of the 50's and 60's.

[Westtoledoguy]

@tommyl206 that must of been fun

[ZOGGYDOGGY]

I remember sitting in a four door '36 Ford with four on the floor and suicide doors complete with a windscreen which you could push open and this was on the AM radio.

[Westtoledoguy]

@ZOGGYDOGGY how very cool ......that would of been something in 1958

[ZOGGYDOGGY]

@Westtoledoguy I forgot to mention that I was 14 and smoking Pall Malls. I quit smoking tobacco by the time I was 24.

[OldiebutGoodieGal]

I love this song!! ahh Jr. High.. and no.. I wasnt born till 1960

[Westtoledoguy]

[desert3347]

[Westtoledoguy]

[SouleraUnica]

BIG TIME FAV..ONE THAT'S ALWAYS SPOKEN TRUTH!

[Westtoledoguy]

@SouleraUnica it is a great record

[lrh1966]

Carl, this is another great 50's transfer by you. The stereo like dynamic range is great. This must have been master recorded on the famed Ampex 350 deck with it's high s/n and response made all the better by your magic touch!! You are always great!!...Super Hugs from Lloyd.

[Westtoledoguy]

@lrh1966 thx Lloyd

[pobrepaco]

COULDN'T SING WORTH A DAMN--BUT WAS EYE CANDY FOR THE GIRL'S OF THE 50'S

[Westtoledoguy]

[mrod1943]

Cammie if you are out there I hope you listen to this song....you were just a dream to me but I still think of you even after all this years.

[Westtoledoguy]

@mrod1943 awwwww I hope Cammie reads your post

[LoveEyesGirl]

Hey Mr Westtoledoguy... You must be a big fan too... Do you follow anybody else's music besides Jimmy Clanton's? There's a couple more that, when I listen to them,

I feel just like a teenager, in love, on a summer's night! That's one of the best feelings I can think of.

[Westtoledoguy]

@LoveEyesGirl I love so many of the 1950s music hard to tell you them all mostly doo wop groups

[Fruitloop186]

@LoveEyesGirl "In love on a summer's night".. I could't have said it better. Those teen years in the 60's were the best ! Just to relive one night would be heaven on Earth. I'm so glad I was a teenager in that particular place and time

[LoveEyesGirl]

I think I dreamed about him a million times...at least!

[Westtoledoguy]

@LoveEyesGirl awwwww

[LoveEyesGirl]

I still feel the way I did about him when I was in high school. He sounds great!

[Westtoledoguy]

@LoveEyesGirl awwww that is sweet ......he did have a great voice

[momac71]

This didn't do much in the UK, wedidn't have much taste in these days

[Westtoledoguy]

@momac71 I have heard that it wasnt UK cup of tea but seems most like it now

[2lovs4music]

My Personal Favorite Song From Jimmy!

God I Loved It!

[Westtoledoguy]

@2lovs4music it was a great record and on 78 even better

[MsJojo8686]

damn this is my jam......



[Westtoledoguy]

@MsJojo8686 it is good

[battenwood]

@Westtoledoguy When I hear these lod rockers like Jimmy or maybe his running mate, Frankie Ford, I ask myself, "How would they do on American Idol?" I think Jimmy, with his plaintive voice, looks, and friendly personality, would win pretty easy.

But what am I saying? Jimmy got a record contract all by himself while still a teenager. First song was a gold record. Wrote most of his own stuff too!

[rstory10063]

I saw Jimmy at a concert in Mongomery, Alabama - 1962. Me and another guy hitchhiked all the way from Fort Benning, Georgia to see him, Connie Francis and Ace Cannon. What a show. Saw Jimmy again at an oldie show in Jackson, Tennessee - believe it was 2004. Still love his music. Thanks for the autograph Jimmy.

[Westtoledoguy]

@rstory10063 wow that sounds really cool wish his autograph was on my 78

[rstory10063]

@Westtoledoguy Yeah, that would be cool. At the oldie show I asked Jimmy if he remember the concert in Montgomery. After a second or two of thought his eyes lit up and he mentioned Connie Francis and Ace Cannon. I told him about hitchhiking to the concert. He autographed one of his CD's and gave it to me. Pretty neat!

[Westtoledoguy]

@rstory10063 oh cool

[ronKY40216]

my best memories of the the 50's , there will be no better rock and roll....baby boomers, this is the best,,,,get in touch with me........rrmccubbin@hotmail.c­om. junior wilcher, pat and martha shoun, beverly wilcher, joe wells, tommy thompson, russel stephenson, fred hannah, harold moore, and all others that grew up on east kentucky street in the 1950's....

[Featureman]

I believe this was written in just a few minutes so Jimmy could record something when someone else failed to show up at the studio.

[Westtoledoguy]

@Featureman that is cool .......big hit too

[MagcialWorldOfMusic]

I have this on a 45. Originally it is called Jimmy Clanton and his Rockets, but according to the label, it was just Jimmy Clanton.

[Westtoledoguy]

@MagcialWorldOfMusic some records say and his Rockets and some just him not sure why but could be different pressing plants
