Just visited other postings of artists doing this same tune and tho` they were ok, Edwards has my vote. His rendition was just perfect as if it was writtened specifically for him. Told you I`d be back, tho` didn`t plan it this soon! lol

@guambetty I think Bobby Edwards may have written the song.

Great song and pleasant voice---I didn`t want the music to end. Thanks for sharing & you can bet I`ll be back revisiting!

@guambetty You're welcome, glad you like the record.

Agreed: This song has been one of my favorite records of all times. His soundalike followup is also very good. Those were the greatest years of all - we had such a big VARIETY in the types of songs being played. Not anymore... Lots of clones! LG

@obg3leng3 In addition, the singing and songwriting was much better then, to say the least.

I love old doo-wop and this song is a hit in my eyes!

This was "our song" in 1961!! Our 50th wedding anniversary in June!

I love old country!

JUST MISSED!!! As stated above "You're The Reason" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 17 weeks in the Top 100 in 1961!!! {Joe South's version of this song reached No. 87, also in 1961}

Nice to have Bobby's voice on YT. Please do post the other songs of his, like "Walk away slowly" if you are in a position to do so. YOU are superb, if not for you, we will never get the opportunity to hear his sings......Thanks to you once again...

Not sure if you are related to Bobbie Edwards or not, but I met him once at his house, even met his daughter.

Sounds just like pop but its actually supposed to be country(!) Still pretty good but a good example of "the death of country music". Hank III recorded a great Country version of this in 1999.

the person that wrote this song, your the reason was Fred Henely from Picayune Ms, back in 1960.
