A song like this can pull a kid right out of rock and roll and have him say to himself; what IS THIS?
I absolutely LOVE this.Wish I could have seen you live Wes. Wish there was a live version too!
Man, I have been waiting for this to be uploaded. This is one of Wes's most beautiful songs. (I personally feel his best.) He captured the beauty of the melody. I also happen to like the original sung version by Miss Toni Fisher. A whole different arrangement but also haunting in its own way.
I remember I use to air-guitar to this song when I was a little boy. I still do it whenever I hear it, I'm doing it now as I listen to it! It also bring some tears to me eyes. I love you Wes, -Skibby
Written by Wayne Shanklin who wrote so many great songs. Wes does another Wayne Shanklin song called Little Child, Daddy Dear...well worth checking out.
Found this a while back while going through some of my buddy's records.
It's a find like this that makes me realize how adventurous record-digging really is.
