Sounding good Mike! I particularly like it done in that slower, swinging rhythm, sounds great.

[@mikebrookbankguitarvocals7322]

Thank you Nigel. Very nice of you to comment on the rhythum. I do think that the slower style serves the song well.

Beautiful job. Mike. I met Ricky a few times years ago and also his twins 2 years ago. A very, very nice family. The best to you, paul😊😊❤

[@mikebrookbankguitarvocals7322]

Thank you Paul, your comments are most appreciated. I think Ricky was great and loved him back when I was a young teenager. I am now 78 Ha!

A nice, laidback version of this song. I sing it myself, along with a couple of other Rick Nelson songs, although he didn't write it of course.

[@mikebrookbankguitarvocals7322]

Why hello Robert, thanks for your comment. And yes, the song was written by Gene Pitney as you probably know. Ricky did not write any of his stuff, but I sure did like him. I've posted a lot of his songs on my channel. As to music, I am going to check out your site here shortly and will get back to you. Hope you subscribed to my channel and I will of course to yours. It is great fun, isn't it. Have a nice evening.
