The Casinos - Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye stereo version (audio only)

The Casinos were an anomaly during the late '60s. Instead of producing psychedelic hard rock, they offer doo-wop, a genre many thought died in the early '60s. This classic song by country music legend John D. Loudermilk was number 6 in 1967. A lot of country artists covered this tune also (Glenn Campbell and Eddy Arnold to name 2). This song was covered in 1979 by Texas country/pop/rock band Toby Beau for their second album More Than A Love Song and it became a huge hit in the Philippines. The photos you are seeing came from the website http://www.theoriginalcasinos.com - please support this great group, they are still alive and well making great music as ever before with a new lead vocalist. Sadly, their popular lead vocalist Gene Hughes came to be with the Lord last 2008 at the age of 67 due to complications from a car accident. He may be physically gone but achieved musical immortality with this song.

Very interesting information about the group and this lovely gem which I remember hearing growing up. The organ & horn section in this tune are so distinct & captivating ... it just doesn't get any better. Thank you bpabustan for sharing!

@doowopkid I truly believe good music is good music it doesn't matter if it was released by the time the phonograph was invented or released a minute ago on itunes. This to me is a classic doowop record, albeit in a different approach than what was usually released in the 50s. Truth is I was convinced for so long there is never any stereo version of this record until just very recently! Thanks for the compliments bro!

@12014343 Boy, I am now confused, you are the fourth person to give me a different date other than the one given by Wikipedia (which I am now beginning to distrust due to a lot of inaccuracies). Some says February 3, 2008, one says February 3, 2004, one says February 3, 2005, then your date says March 30, 2006. I hope someone can really set this one straight. Anyways, thanks for the correction. Just goes to show how wrong Wikipedia could be.

I live in Cincinnat and knew these guys, Ray White the Bass player is a very good friend of mine. They were a A+ class act. I use to go and see them at a club in Cincy and proud I got to get up and play some songs with them.  Went to see them at the old Beverly Hills Nite Club, They were outstanding.

“Then you can tell me goodbye” written by John D. Loudermill and sung by Gene Hughes is about a romantic relationship that could definitely make it. I believe in working out relationship issues and not giving up before the challenge. Issues could be taken care of only if both people are sincere and truthful to one another.

If you listen carefully to the left channel towards the end of the solo around 1:57 you can hear someone say "Ready?" in the background. I love hearing these types of things. Gives the song more character. The greatest love song EVER. And for all of you older folks, I'm 33. Some of us young people can still appreciate good music.

The special song of my junior/senior year girlfriend in 1966-68. We parted ways got together after 40 years and the song still goes through it.

This tune was Fraternity Records last hit.

I love this song. Heard it since it first came out on the radio in early '67.
