Really takes me back to high school days (late 1950's). Very unique and so different than other music of that time, especially since it's an instrumental. Thanks for posting.

This instrument is a Fender Steel guitar. Sometimes referred to as a Hawaiian Steel guitar.

I don't think Johnny's going to be sleep walking after all the yayo he apparently did just before filming this

Whats The Name of That Instrument?... Before I Watched The Video of This Song I Thought It Was a Guitar

Most haunting pop melody ever.Even before the La Bamba movie.

This song hit #1 for 2 weeks in Sept 1959, so its 50th anniversary topping the charts is right NOW ! ! ! ! This is steel guitar at its absolute best - the 'steel' is not the guitar, it's the tool in his left hand that creates the vibrato and 'slides' the note or chord up the scale. Great to see this technique on film !!! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!
