HERE MY LOVE..

[scottydee50]

yes 13 when this jumped off little white boy trying to learn guitar loved the olympics from hully gully but I had to go buy this immediately and listen to it over and over from the ray charles intro then that rhythm with that cymbal bell stands me on my feet to this day and I have to sing along. it's just wicked and I was so glad to find it here, and I came looking! thanx another jillion Vinyl!

I do the bounce!

Walter's voice rocked. His voice is so sexy and nasty that I would have waited in the alley for him. This song was bomb then and it's bomb now.

[Torihope]

LOL@your comment. I guess I never thought about that about his voice then--I was only about 13 when this came out. What a cool post. I've actually still got my 45 of this. Ahhh...those were the days...

[rdf1947]

Great one from my youth. Thanks for the post.

VinylNostalgia, I will see nedman's jillion and raise him a gazillion. This is my all-time favorite Olympics song, and I was dying for somebody to post it. Infectious beat, raspy, muddy vocals -- pure 1963, my favorite year for music -- that little interlude between Elvis and The Beatles. Thanks for posting. This one goes straight to favorites.

[VinylNostalgia]

OK people, I have a gazillion thanks from speedy. Do I hear a quadruple megazillion? ;D

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this record, it's a great tune that you don't hear very often.

[6motion6]

I'll give you the quadruple megazillion! I was 11 when this came out and I always loved it. It's a real treat to come across it, since I've never been able to replace my beat up old 45.

[Torihope]

You got it...

NOW--I'll jump up to a megagazillion twice over for anyone who has the long version of 'I Need Your Lovin' by Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford...in any format...post or MP3. I'm willing to swap...

[nedmanxxx]

tell u what...we was just 13 and pedal -to the -metal ...tryin' to outrun the fuzz...the bounce was cookin' on the radio..and we were alive...dig that man...like i say stompin' ...

[nedmanxxx]

stompin'....! thanks a jillion for ths post....it's RARE

[VinylNostalgia]

Glad you liked it. And thank you...I don't recall ever being thanked a jillion times before. It's usually only a lousy million times! :D
