@emil909090 Ever consider a career as a math teacher?

Correction......Charlie`s version was the original, however, I made the mistake in saying he wrote "Butterfly" in fact, I believe it was penned by "Anthony September"...Sorry......

I have never heard Tommy Sands version, will look for it on YouTube. Remember Andy`s version being the big hit over here in the UK in 57/58. Still, dont think you can beat the original by the guy who wrote it !!! Charlie Gracie, with his 57 Guild, one of the great Rock n Roll singer guitarist, of all time....... "Fabulous".

@goneoverboard2 also done by tommy sands and again by andy williams

@goneoverboard2 Eddie and Charlie were best friends back then, Charlie has many stories about the two of

them! That's the best part of playing for him, getting to hear about the legends from a legend!

@bigkatt1974 What an honor!!! Thanks for the reply. I last saw Charlie perform here in the UK, early 90s. He was brill as always, reminded me so much of Eddie Cochran,{or should I say Eddie reminded me so much of Charlie} the way he moved and the way he held his Guitar. I guess they must have been good friends back in the late 50s.Charlie`s old Guild is "Somthin`else",still playing today!!!just think,all the great R and R"Stars" of the 50s, who have had the priv of playing that fine guitar.Wow!!

[bigkatt1974]

@goneoverboard2 I have had the honor of backing up Charlie a few times,

he plays the SAME Guild as in 57! He says his guitar is more famous than he is

because of all the big 50's Rock and Roll stars that have played it over the years,

in jam sessions!

I saw Charlie Gracie in London a lifetime ago. He started to sing Que Sera Sera (When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother what shall I be) and then burst into Hound Dog. It brought the house down. Great entertainer.
