Killer video! Thanks for posting it. I was a fan back in '81-82 and I never saw it back then. Phil is so...punky in it. I met him on the Santa Monica Pier back in 91 or so. He was with his then fiance, who was herself losing her sight. They were very humble and I was glad to be able to recognize him and tell him how much I liked his music.
@swagner64 Are you referring to Jackie? If so, that's beyond tragic....Phil dying of cancer, and Jackie going blind at the same time? As if they weren't suffering enough with Phil's illness....God, what a heartbreaker.
I really like Phil's version here, but what happened to the Bobby Fuller Four clip from "Shivaree" that was on youtube for the past few months? What, did the estate of Gene Weed want it removed or something?
while i VERY RARELY find ANY cover of a classic song to even come close to the original, and i LOVE the original, i might like this version even more. it's just so genuine and, dare i say, definitive. thanks for posting this treat of a video!
Listen for great music like this on a new radio station called "OffTheCharts" - featuring 70's (and some 80's) lost hits and chart wonders!

Great video from a guy who died waaay before his time. Did anyone notice the posters in the video for the Textones and the Dwight Twilley Band? Phil recorded with both. Great cover version of the Bobby Fuller Four song.
@carolhill1 Yeah, it is, ain't it? Can't believe how hard it is to find anything on Phil....there's an American Bandstand video of him as well but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Omg hes like the 80s version of Justin Bieber!!:):) ahh!!!

@FIONA97402 Same with Another Sad and Lonely Night, and Little Annie Lou. I guess they only want him to be remembered for I Fought the Law....
