Who the hell posted this awful picture? It's simply awful!!!!!! LOL

[ElvisClambake]

I'm reading in various places that these songs were recorded in Mexico when Mr. K was getting married in 1983. That's around the time I was given this cassette with all those songs on it. I was in San Fran at the time, so right time, right coast....

That's probably the source.

@ElvisClambake I have a bootleg called "The Complete Honeymoon Tapes" it was recorded in Mexico and has this one and 38 more oldies and some Stones classics

[ElvisClambake]

@tmartin525 That must be it, then. When I was given this cassette around 1985 by a local, indie record producer in SanFran, I was told not to copy it or give to anyone else....so I made one copy and gave it to my parents where it was safe and sound in Boston. Now , with youtube,etc,,,, the truth comes out!

This recording is absolutely brilliant, pure gold. Very rare indeed!

One of my favorite Everly Bros songs. I always hooped to come across a version of Keith doing it. thanks for posting.

[bamboosa]

Bloody amazing - heart and soul of the you-know-what. I was like, where the hell is "Cathy's Clown"? and he finally sang the old Everly Brothers' tune. I grew upon the same amazing stuff.

[PaulieMc]

this should be released on a cd! i want it!

[Rustina61]

That is quite a creepy picture. But a good story, though.

Hi Elvis, that's what singers do, they sing their songs, and not only once. I was there when Keith sang it, for me and about 100 others. The next day a mate of mine who was a DJ gave the tape to me.

[ElvisClambake]

An associate of mine gave me a cassette of Keith Richards singing Buddy Holly and Everly Brothers songs, some of it with sax.

This was in San Francisco in 1985-ish.

He told me not to copy it or lend it to anyone.

I still have it.

So, it's at least pre-1985 and who ever you claim he sang this song for, he sang alot more of them and someone recorded it, obviously.

Ever since the internet, I've been waiting to see who else had this and where it came from.

[tmartin525]

@ElvisClambake I have three bootleg disc of Keith singing this and a ton of other songs from that era as well as a lot of him doing Stones classics with just him an an acoustic guitar.

I don't understand why your friend told you not to share. As long as it isn't commercially avaiable it is legal to have bootleg copies

[Travelingman812]

@tmartin525 This is my favorite era of music and what I'd like to learn how to play,. Would you be willing to share? Thanks

[MrJourard]

This is "So Sad," not Cathy's Clown.

[valobol]

@MrJourard: If you listen to the whole sound track you will discover that Keith is singing Cathy's clown.

[wato115]

@MrJourard this is so sad at the start and then becomes cathy's clown

[ModGirl1967]

@wato115 Yep.

[valobol]
