The music industry lost a great voice when Terry passed on. His "Suspicion" will always remain my most favorite song. Be at peace Terry. Joe S

I am so glad I found this. I love to hear Terry Stafford sing. He had such a beautiful voice. I think he would have made it as a popular singer but the time was just not right. The Beatles were just beginning and I think that is what help to stall his career. I think if he could have started earlier things would have been different for him. Such a shame for such a talented man.

I heard a story about 40 years ago, that Terry was paid a visit by Col Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager just after Terry released his huge hit song "Suspicion." Terry's version was outstanding compared to Elvis's version. Col Parker allegedly offered Terry a huge amount of money not to record any more Pop songs which was why he change genre to Country. Don't know how true that was, but Terry Stafford was young, good looking, and he could really sing in the 1960s and was a definite threat to Elvis.

msjosephine2 Yes he is the writer, although a co-wroter with his music side who did much of the instrumentation on his songs. His unknown partner had exceeding instrumentation talent. You'll notice how diverse the instrumentation is between songs. He does not appear to have married. His singing career in that he hit the top 5-or10 with the first two recordings which is quite a feat.

Terry left us way too soon. He would have gone on to super stardom if he had lived. This performance on the Dick Clark show was definitely lip synced as most of Dick Clark's guests did. That way he only had to pay Terry and not the whole band. Everybody who heard Suspicion for the first time thought it was Elvis. When Elvis released his version of Suspicion, it wasn't as good as Terry's.

I've loved this tune, as well as Terry's other tunes, for a long time. I couldn't help it but repeated the start of the record when the tune ends multiple times. I loved it so much. I remember that my friend purchased it in '64. I was with him when he purchased the record. I purchased a Kitty Well's tune "This White Circle" when we purchased the 45's. However, a couple of months later after hearing the record he purchased, I instantly loved it so much that I had to purchase one & haven't regretted it since. By the way, what instrument is played at the end of the verses "But it won't shine" & "As bright as your eyes." The instrument was played at other parts of the record. It sounded like an oboe was played? Anyone knows? Thanks.

glen pittman Terry has such excellent instrumentation in the music, that his first two recordings hit the top. Info on wikipedia is very slim. His instrumentation man was Bob Summers, brother-in-law of Les Paul. Thus Bob Summers recording Studio was tops in the industry & Summers the unsung hero of Terry's success using multi-track recording that Les Paul pioneered. He doesn't appear to have married but kept writting and recording his full life. He passed away of liver failure possibly due to drinking.

He had that Presley voice. Maybe some difference but I really like it. I just have recently rediscovered him. I like he is from Amarillo. Suspicion is one of those I could listen to time and again. I think it was during a time that they only needed one Elvis and another thing was he needed to be a lot more “showy” in order to compete.
