lost my mother at 16 back in 1977 . I was a bad boy and in juvenile detention and tried to call her one night and got no answer . the next day I found out she died. That night in the dorm someone was playing the radio and this song came on. I never felt so alone and sad in my life. I have always like the ELO version . But if anyone was going to try and remix this song I am glad it's you.

[@davidmacaskill4381]

cbgreenbay Hope the time had healed. My mom died when I was 12

[@tomeastland4314]

Oh wow, man. I have strong associations with this song same age, same year. Mine are all about girls and teenage angst. Yours made my heart ache. I hope your life has turned out well.

[@jolene41062]

I can't imagined how you got through that time. Not alone I hope.

[@danielhernandez2575]

I'm so sorry, I hope everything has turned out okay.

[@nojnoj3069]

cbgreenbay.... Damn buddy. That's awful, I hope it all worked out for you. God bless you, that must've been bad.

No one does better duets with themselves than our Puddles.

[@earlware4322]

I don't think there are too many voices that could match the phenomenally talented one of our man Puddles. The way he synced up his tone and the timing was perfect.

[@greatamericanradio5937]

Ever since I first saw this guy I've loved his control. Pitch is immaculate and he KNOWS WHAT HE CAN'T DO. He stays right in that warm tenor timbre and throws strikes all day. Just fantastic to listen to.

[@raymondhardman7286]

“and throws strikes all day”…damn right

[@madzki80]

He's very original. He can make every song he sing his own.

@@PuddlesPityParty Puddles, I can't stop listening to your music!!! Someone mentioned you to me on KZbin on the song, "Sound of Silence," by "Disturbed," and looked you up. I never saw you on AGT. Missed that season, I guess. You are SO amazing... Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us. I'm so grateful to that person for telling me about you! Nothing has touched my heart like your music has, for a very long time. Like this poster, I lost my brother in 1977. He was 9, and in an accident. I was 16. Waiting to see him again. Check out www .

Did you ever think about how much people listen to you and what kind of situation they are in right now? Im writing this from the place where its war about 7 years and it never end. Your voice came here through my computer and your vibrations live here now in this durk place and making it a little bit better. Thank you for your talant and what you do for us. God bless you.

[@PlagueCabaret]

As someone who was raised on ELO and other classic rock groups, I can honestly say two things: Puddles, that was both hauntingly and heart breakingly beautiful (As it should most certainly should be) And, you definitely did justice to the great Jeff Lynn.

[@lannalane4247]

@Stork Legs It'w really hard to sing a classic and make it work, it works.

[@kenlieck7756]

@@lannalane4247 The double-tracking on the "doo wops" is the key that shows he "gets" the Lynne/ELO sound...

Wow...how he carried that note at 2:40...what a voice!

[@DogGone1953]

I was 24 and working at the phone company seeing that long distant calls made it to their destination when this song came out... This was one of my favs that ELO played... Puddles, you brought back my younger days and a tear in my eye in this heartfelt version. 😢

[@bobjohnson2784]

Never thought of Telephone Line being a duet. BRILLIANT

[@beachwalker2574]

The red phone is upside down... absolutely fantastic!! This is why he couldn’t hear the person answering.... clown act 101 Well done !!! Puddles. See u on stage in a few months!!!

[@TRUEBLUEGOBLUE]

This guy ought to be outselling any band he parodies. I am 60, and now now understand EVERY WORD of the lyrics. Incredible performer!!!

[@LawrenceRubinpennlawyer]

Saw him in the Troc in Philly about 5 years ago. He came into the audience and sang directly to some audience member. I will never forget what an extraordinary singer he was and now he seems even better. He is an amazing talent. I could listen to him every day of my life. I wish I could see him again but I don't know if he comes to Philly any more.

[@stephanie3848]

Your stage ambiance is awesome how you portray the emotions with your gestures captures those feelings being portraited just at the right time while staying in tune with the songs lyrics. Thank you Puddles Pity Party for sharing your talent with us.

[@Prisonerthirt33n]

Puddles, I just want you to know, I'm going through some hard stuff at the moment, so i recently went up to the Highlands in Scotland UK. Miles and miles of mountains, forests and nature. The whole time, I had just your songs playing, in the car journey, sitting in the tent at night when it was raining outside, and having it on full blast into the hills on my speakers in a moon lit night. Was perfect in every way possible, and I just want to thank you for everything.I hope you see this. Do not ever stop.

[@Pendarr7]

I hope you're doing better now.

[@dmccombe7]

What a voice and what a fantastic version of this great song. Absolutely brilliant.

[@pluggedintoprogramming]

This is Puddle's most brilliant cover IMHO. The facial expressions of the two on the phone call are so amazing. It really transforms an already great ELO song into something even better. The background video is so classic! And the end rocks! Thank you Puddles for so many great songs and videos. PS I do really like Lips Like Sugar too LOL.

[@Xanadu379]

true! Great song + Great cover ^)

[@colingeorgeh]

Your voice is great as well as the clarity of your voice. I understand the lyrics when you sing. You make songs better. I love your arrangements too. The clown character is very original. Thanks for sharing.

[@brunobrak417]

My god, that's completely different form of puddles. I think it's really refreshing to see something as original, as this one. Well done.

[@GeriMars]

Can you possibly get any CUTER? This is AWESOME. I just love the interaction between Puddles 1 and 2 (or red and black). Also, I've concluded that your left eyebrow (viewer right) is connected directly to your vocal cords. As your pitch gets higher and your sustain longer, it gets lower. The shortening of your vocal cord pulls down your eyebrow. A MILLION KUDOS to whoever laid down the guitar tracks for "Hello." It ROCKS. The distortion and soloing are PURE HEAVEN. I did not want this to end. PLEASE, call yourselves back, make crank calls...whatever it takes. Is your refrigerator running? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ianbailey3881]

I have no idea how i got here but... OMFG! Why is this guy not signed up somewhere? I've seen more talent here in nearly 5 minutes than i've seen all year! And with all this Covid malarky we really need someone like this unleashed on the world. Thank you!

Puddles what a beautiful and unique rendition of ELO's Telephone Line. I've always loved their music and feel they've been so overlooked. What a fabulous and very unique rendition, Thank You, I've replayed it five times and love how you mixed each of the vocals giving that slightly different tone in your voice to each of the parts you sang. Again I've so enjoyed it, Thank you, Scott Pecora
