Tom is burried near where my parents are laid in peace in Tramore. He was a big star around Waterford in his day but it never changed him. He was a gent.

Thanks to great showbands and singers like Tom Dunphy I have great memories back then..the world is such a sad place now..

R.I.P. Tom...I remember that dark night in 1975. Killed in a tragic accident on his way to play at a festival dance in County Donegal. In those days Tom and the Big 8 Showband would attract crowds of well over 3000..

This was my favorite record for me and for all sorts of reasons, I felt it was an immediate hit after we recorded it at EMI Records in London. The A&R man in the studio left me do my thing on it and I was able to produce a sound that I could never remotely replicate on stage.Tom did a wonderful job on it.

Wonderful recording for its time. Very professional and of course Tom's voice was superb . In my view a much better recording than Gene Pitney's.

+Carolyn Dunphy I remember this song so well! - it brings me back to the mid-sixties when I was about 15 years old and starting to get interested in lads and showbands and the top ten and all the exciting times that were ahead of me in my teens. Wonderful memories. RIP Tom, - gone too soon. Thank you Carolyn.

This Russell & Medley composed song (sung by Pitney) was more melodic than Tom Dunphy's version, although he sang a good version. Like all songs, it's up to the listener in the final analysis. I like Gene Pitney's version better. Rest in peace Gene.
