@moviefan1955 You are in error. Mae wasof Irish and German extraction and a baptized Roman Catholic. Days before she passed away, November 22, l980, Mae received the Last Rites of the Roman Catholic Church. Upon the arrival of her body in New York for burial in the family crypt, Mae's casket ...

A gorgeous video appropriately accompanied by the equally gorgeous voice of Patti Andrews and her sisters.

Great rendition of this classic by Elvis with a more matue voice than his earlier 1966 version.

Wonderful version of this great classic. Elvis was reared on gospel and this is the same arrangement and style as the great Ketty Lester classic. Once again it shows Elvis could do any musical genre.

This is the definitive version of this great classic, so much so that the great Elvis Presley recorded it with the exact arrangement and gospel styled piano as this Lester version. Both are equally great.

Rush Limbaugh has made this guy famous using this song for his "Gay Update" segment on his show from time to time. It was the perfect song for Rush' show segment as Klaus literally "lived" the lyrics of this Lesley Gore hit.

Doesn't Olivia know you need those thumbs to play the trumpet? Probably not.

This tune from this album is a sentimental favorite of mine as I first heard it in 1955 and became the first LP I ever bought. I still have it plus the remastered CD of the same album. It is one of Harry's best "live" performances ever. Few trumpeters of the Jazz or Pop genre could play as em...

THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL HILLTOPPERS! It is not Jimmy Sacca doing the lead vocal but either another group or a replacement . Not up to the standards of the original recording.

This is one of my all time favorite Harry James instrumentals as I have been a James devotee for over 55 years and know his "book" like the back of my hand. I have some doubt as to the date you mention. I believe the sessions were made back in 1959 and the album carries no copyright date. I k...

The only proof we need that the radical hating left are the violent persons in our country is to read and listen to the venom spewed out by these mindless, God hating, America hating vermin coming out of their own rotten mouths. They are the epitome of hypocrisy and conservatives laugh out loud ...

Great feeling and great trumpet playing. Bravo!
