Recording information by johnnybrew

This was a UK number one hit for Sir Cliff way back in 1959. It's an age away and life was very different. I was a schoolboy , age 12 , back then. The lads in my class, including me, were still in short trousers , which seems incredible , and quite laughable , by the conventions of today.

Peter Noone had a go at the song , Deb. It's on Youtube. I think Ricky Nelson's song was Travellin' MAN, which was on the flipside of 'Hello Mary Lou'. Remember 'flipsides' ?

I bought the song too. At our school Xmas party in 1959, one of the boys sang this song solo as he played along to his guitar. Ah...yes .. I remember it well. ;)

I have a real dislike for Sir Cliff I'm afraid. But cos it's you JB couldn't not listen, so here I am. As it's not him it sounds very good, you've done well.... It won't surprise you that I don't know it ;-)

I agree with Mandy! ^^ My sister has put me off Sir Cliff as I had to listen to him as I was growing up as she loves him!
This was great, Johnny. Unlike Mandy, I do know it! It sounded mighty fine to me! :)

Ancient karaoke principle : 'Sing us one we know' !! I must try to remember that.

Cliff certainly is the king of 'cheese', I can smile to that...:)

A new song for me....... I was 7 back then so maybe my taste then was more mickey mouse and Tom and Jerry cartoons.... but I enjoyed hearing this and you did a wonderful job singing!! Marilyn

Hey there Sir Harry Web, I mean JB lol, this is fabulous, and I loved some of those Cliff films, they had that old feel good factor that tends to be lacking from the modern stuff, still I smiled when Drew Barrymore died in scary movie at the start hehe, anyway, fabulous version JB.....

Btw I wish I could say I was -- years old in 59 but you will have to settle for my Dad was 14 and my Mum was 16 that year, and maybe you could say I was being kept in storage at that time hehe.....

I have to say I'd take your version over Sir Cliff's any day Mr Brew!!!

I won tickets on the radio to see him in cocnert back in the 90's and I was expecting some good old fashioned rock and roll. What did I end up with?? A concert focused mainly on bible bashing... Not fun!!!!

Well done - you did a great job!!! :-)

Thanks for those comments. We saw Sir Cliff in 1996 at the Sheffield Arena. He perfomed all the hits in his career which had reached number 4 or highter. He was a super live singer and quite witty too.

At the risk of ruining my 'street cred' I will admit to actually liking Cliff's music. Grew up listening to a lot of his stuff cos my parents are big fans :)

I do know the song very well and you did a lovely job of it John, well done. Julie x
