such a pleasure to hear the Ernie Lee Warren and the Cardinals. truely one of the great early performers. thank you sooo much for the memories and the fun. tom d brick,nj.
I recognized the melody of this tune immediately. It was originally HAWAIIAN music,LOL!! I'd heard the tune as an instrumental but never knew the title until now. This version was played on "John's Attic" (John Menicucci) KCSN-FM,Los Angeles.
Another example of Hawaiian pop music being re-done as an R&B tune is the
song "Harbor Lights".
Thanks for putting this up. This is REALLY old-school stuff!
i was 12 years old and i had to hitch hike into a black neighborhood to their record store to get a copy of this beautiful song. i still have it and it's played and enjoyed like it was 50+ years ago.............some thngs can't be improved: and this is one of those audible miracles.
Truly beautiful. I was born after this sweet period of crooning serenaders, but of course and fortunately, my folks passed down some of them to me. So, no, it wasn't all about the Beatles and Motown and Sam Cook. Though we were blessed to have Johnny Mathis, Ben E. King, Sarah Vaughn, Arthur Prysock, The Platters, The Righteous Bros., Chuck Jackson, and of course, Ray Charles and "Pops" Armstrong. Thanks much.
Murry (note spelling) Wilson isn't credited with writing a song called "Off Shore". The Cardinals song was written by Leo Diamond (who also wrote "Shtiggy Boom") and (on the record) "Graham" or (in the ASCAP database) Michael Goldsen.

I heard once that this song was written by Murray Wilson, father of the Beach Boys Wilson brothers. Can someone confirm yes or no?

@marvy42 Thanks, Marv. I don't know where I heard that about Murry. Another urban legend.
