Arguably the greatest doo-wop record of all-time. Gorgeously melancholy. #12 Pop and #3 R&B in 1958-'59.

It was a common practice back then for record company executives to add their names to the writing credits. It was part of the Payola scandal of the 1950s. If you watch the Sopranos, the character Hesh Rabkin was one such record label owner.

Other great songs from around this time include "Come Go with Me" by The Del Vikings, "Little Darling" by The Diamonds, and "Since I Fell for You" by Lenny Welch (very similar to this song). Also, there's this great instrumental called "Honeymoon Swoon" by Werner Tautz. All highly recommended.

Shawn, Shawn, Shawn......I was in high school in 1973 when the movie American Graffiti came out - most everyone from my generation loved it. It caused a 50's and early 60's revival, there were "oldies" stations popping up all over the radio dial and we all learned these great tunes that originally belonged to those a couple generations before us. American Graffiti has, without a doubt, the best soundtrack of any movie ever produced!!!! That sound track included Since I Don't Have You. If you wanna know what else to listen to from that era just make a list of songs from that sound track. BTW, you should check out the movie too - a cool, if somewhat exaggerated, glimpse into teenage life during those times.

Have a playlist & I’d like to share a few if that’s ok, hope you consider reacting to them; “Sh-Boom” by The Chords, “Come Go WithMe” by The Del Vikings, “I Only Have Eyes For You” by The Flamingos, “Take Good Care of My Baby” by Bobby Vee, “Get a Job” by The Silhouettes, “The Stroll” by The Diamonds, “Blue Velvet” by Bobby Vinson, “It’s All in the Game” by Tommy Edwards & “Who Put the Bomp” by Barry Mann.

I know that you like songs that are emotionally deep. I have a suggestion, if you should want to dive into it. Patty Loveless “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive “. The song wasn’t written by her but it parallels her life somewhat, so she has that emotion in it. The best version that I’ve found is on the KZbin channel stormsontheocean, it’s live. It’s bluegrass music which tends to have a deep emotion in the songs. I just subscribed with this account but I’ve been following you for awhile on my other account. You have good and fair reactions and I enjoy that. Keep up the good work and I hope that you take a chance on this song, I actually think it will blow you away. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
