HE USED TO PLAY AT A CLUB I WENT TO BACK IN THE 70'S.. THE ANVAL INN WAS WHAT IT WAS CALLED.

Still a beautiful song after all these years. And I agree that it's not the original, but good enough.

Met this guy when he appeared in my hometown. Very nice guy. Told me he was going to college and that show biz was a sideline.

@Wolfsky9 Admittedly, I got this off of a cd, but it sounded like the original to me (yes, I was there, too). If this is indeed a re-recording, I would appreciate it if you could post the original, or let me know where I could listen to it.

except Joey grew up in Washington, Pennsylvania, seven miles south of Canonsburg. He graduated from Washington High School. He used to serenade us in the summers when it was too hot to be inside. We'd sit on our porches and Joey would sing to us.

@TheRebeldrum Love to hear from people who knew these singers back when. Thanks for sharing.

Close but no cigar! I know you got this off of a CD. But the song just isn't the same without those harmonies at the end. " Don't let anyone (don't let anyone) Don't let anyone know oh oh." It does bring back some good memories though. But, I really miss those harmonies. When I was about 9 when this song was on the radio, my 2 BFFs and I had those harmonies down pat! I miss those days!

@thenavik8 You're the second person to inform me that this is NOT the original (see wolfsky9's remarks above). Would you (or someone else) PLEASE post the original so that I (and others) can hear it?

It's close enough to the original it feels me with exactly the same emotion Thanks!
