never saw a picture of this group or who they were-anybody?

[PJDooWop]

There are quite a few pictures of them. One has been released to the public for years. A few unreleased photos were released to the public by Marilyn Bishop-Piekarski. This group evolved from The Juveniles on the Mode label, and Marilyn was the lead. There's a very detailed article about them that I assisted with. It's featured on Charlie and Pam Horner's website (You'll easily find it if you google it)

summer of 1961, I had a free copy, a girl I was dating gave it to me, her grandfather wrote the song, his name was Carl Nutter

[PJDooWop]

I see Carl's name on the label, although it looked like he cowrote this with a few other people

[PJDooWop]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom but happy you found the song

[deanslist101]

A beautiful sad song that, I'm sure many of us can identify with. Very clever use of the poker metaphor to make the point.
