He was such a talent. He wrote three big hits back in the 50's. Unfortunately this one was covered by Pat Boone, who made a fortune from the more talented black singer/songwriters of the day. Since I met you baby was covered by a host of popular white singers. Another great IJH tune "Empty arms" was recorded by Joni James. Joe sang these songs the way they were written, with a lot of heart and soul. j.barry7370@yahoo.com

So many people got rich off of this man's songs. Why in the hell hasn't this man been given the recognition he deserves. He 's an American icon!!!!

@gdl0748 well must say I tend agree with you there

This is one of the few "race records" that had a "passable" cover (by Pat Boone) - unlike Pat's laughable version of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti"....

@taylor4660 I have the book. Very good read.Luckily I also have many of the tracks he talks about in one format or another

@recovering16 Love Letters In The Sand was a fair one too

I listen to quite many versions of this song, for example Pat or Fats versions but they are not up to the standard of the original IMO. Only Eddie's version though here I am of course biased as almost anything with Ed is good.
