Excellent tune! The original lead singer, Johnny Funches does this one. He had a very distinctive "nasal" voice well suited to 50's doo wop ballads. The best 50's Dells songs are the ones he sings lead on. Its a shame he did not live long enough to take the stage with the group at the rock hall of fame awards. He left the group in 61(before the big hits) to provide steady income for his family (he was married and had kids before the other guys)He worked as a foreman at a steel mill.

I found the single on Ebay. I'll post it very soon. It's slighty different. This one here is the alternate cut.
