Have never heard this before! Not sure if I want to hear a different version. The video is so well directed - the seagull at the end - the flashbacks - truly a work of art. Please do not stop posting these treasures. I hope Lou doen't stop performing, I do so wish to see him perform in person.
snarfelhamana---thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song and sad but fantastic video. Lou looks fabulous, as always. LouBaby, you made me cry! Love you, as always---forever.===Marilyn xxoo
@LousFool - I agree!! Lou touched my heart with this one!! I like both Elvis & Lou's version about the same. What a voice Lou has!!! I would love to see him in person.......
I'm really sorry, but these things freak me out so much! dnt read this (cuz it really wrks). u wll gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn ths dnt stp ths is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
What a great video I have never heard Lou's version of this song. If I am correct, the original artist that made this popular in the 50's was Johnny Ace, who shot and killed himself after the release of this song.
Talking about singers of a "certain age"...I just saw Neil Diamond in Omaha at the Quest Center (19,000 screaming fans)....Neil is 67, Lou is 64ish....do you know if those two ever crossed paths? Just curious?
OMG! I've always like this Johnny Ace hit, but you really kicked some new life into it! You sing it so sensual and smooth. Wow...I am completely amazed!!! Wonderul, wonderful job! I can't stop playing it over and over and over! Bravo!
Just stumbled on this. Great rendition. Always liked Lou, but was surprised at how good a performance he rendered here... exceptional!
The female in the vid is also a stunner.
Thanks for posting this.

Both a fantastic,haunting cover,as well as a moody vidio.One of my favorite singers from the 60s,who still has it.

Lou Christie deserves to be ranked right up there with the GREAT rock'n'roll singers.
Brilliant version of this song.

And, why hasn't he? I think BellniNorma said it earlier....Lou must not "sell" himself like others. Whatever, this guy rocks!

I love the fact that he's a real person and he never forgot that.
What a great guy all the way round

Why does he look so pale and drawn here ?
In LIVE performances he looks great - here he does seem OLD ! Or is that the idea ?
