"Tell Laura I Love Her"(1960)-Ray Peterson version cover by Steve

"Tell Laura I love Her" is a teenage tragedy song written by Jeff Barry and Ben Raleigh. It was a US top ten popular music hit for singer Ray Peterson in 1960 on RCA Victor Records, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Many radio stations initially banned this and other death rock ballads such as "Last Kiss" and "Endless Sleep" fearing they would incite teens to commit suicide. Later in 1960 it was recorded and released by Ricky Valance in the U.K., where it went to the #1 spot on the UK singles chart. This song has been a hit in 14 countries, and has sold over 7 million copies! Thanks for watching my rendition of this great classic 60's song....I really appreciate it and your likes!
