One of my good friends covered this song in 1964 on his first LP that had his biggest hit "Last Kiss" His name was J. Frank Wilson from Lufkin, Texas and was in a band called the Cavaliers.
Why did we love those "dead teenager" songs so much? I remember writing a postcard to the radio station, requesting this. No way my parents would have let me make a long distance call to request it.
I know this time only passively from my childhood.. it's the music I grow with up. Thanks dad.
But music was good also till the 90s. Since 2000 it's totally crap..
I was born in the 50's, I have loved music all of my life! Still love music, but now prefer Country! God Bless all of those old singers who gave me so much fun!
