Absolute shite,what sort of song is this wiffle crap..reminds me of Pat boone junk..

[peterdchecksfield]

@SpeedTriple59 Why did you view it then? Or did you expect Howlin' Wolf or Little Richard soundalikes?

[RockinRedRover]

Nice clip altho the lip-synchs seem rather odd !.

Re Marty's ability, or not, yeah he wasn't the same "raw" boy as Cliff, he played the "nice boy next door" type, but if you go and see him now (still constantly touring the UK) you will see he's a GREAT singer and a real nice guy to boot.

His 50th Anniversary Show at the Palladium was fantastic, buy the dvd!

@RockinRedRover I agree about the DVD, it's superb! I've also seen Marty Wilde 3 times & met him.

Liked Cliff and Marty,BUT they have killed a great Bobby Vee HIT!!!

[PAULLONDEN]

@peterdchecksfield I don't agree with directly with that comment,but this clip presents somewhat an end of the rock'n'roll era, when everything began te get "bouncy,bouncy"...interesting nonetheless.

[MySarianna]

Two my favourite singers 50-60...

Looks like Marty's hair was a bit bouncy bouncy too..no Brylcreem or Vitalis left ??
