In February of 1979 the Robert Gordon's "Rock Billy Boogie" album was released with Chris Spedding on lead guitar. The title track "Rock Billy Boogie", Walk On By, The Catman and It's Only Make Believe got much radio airplay and the album broke into the top 100 charts. Here is the clip for the great gordon's cover of "It's Only Make Believe". This song was written by Jack Nance and Conway Twitty. Twitty released it as a single in 1958

My Robert Gordon favorite is "Sweet love on my mind".

Good cover, but nothing fabulous. For myself, Robert Gordon's signature tune is Sea of Heatbreak, which reigns supreme.

i remember the robert gordon album. i went out and got it on day one. i couldnt believe how good he was

His live version on the King Biscuit Flour Hour was awesome, and much more rocked up, with great guitar work by Spedding. Unfortunately, there was PA interference from local police radios and feedback, so they included another live version on the final KB CD. He was very raw in his live shows, and a favorite of some punk rockers. This is a singer's song . . . keeps going up and up and up, which is why you don't hear many covers. Glenn Campbell did a good job.

He's the only person that can sing it better than Conway Twitty.
