Probably the last of these has may have run it's course on here.


Back to the 50s and a different angle somewhat, first version was a number 1 in US and also a number 1 in UK , the UK cover version however , was also a number 1. One of those rare occurences ,when the same song by two different artists made number 1.

Guy Mitchell, easy. If this is the last one of these I'll miss it Roy. It's become a nice feature of my Saturday mornings along with the coffee...

Thanks Jeff appreciate the comment

This one came copyright restricted -- apparently the US isn't allowed to view Tommy Steele singing Singing the Blues?!!

I looked all over YT for another TS version -- it was blocked as well. I have no idea why this specific tune is blocked to the US. I visited his page on Wikipedia -- and he had quite a career!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Steele -- he did a bit of everything! I listened and watched some of his other music videos on YT as they weren't all restricted -- he had a lovely voice! He was a great all around entertainer back in the day!

It would have been fun to hear his version of this song, but I have a feeling my vote would have been cast to GM anyways as it is so engrained in my childhood!

I DO hope you continue with this US vs. UK -- I've gotten to hear some wonderful UK music that I never knew existed.

Tommy Steele.

For those of us in the States, you can hear Tommy's version here;

Thanks Jeff, pity they didn't choose the vid I posted which was original, this seems to have a audience in background dubbed on.

Strange that a song 54 years old would be be prevented from being played

My favourite version is Guy Mitchell's.

Thanks Roy... hope you can squeeze in a few more of these for us please!

Another difficult choice. I'm finally leaning to Guy Mitchell - Tommy's Elvis imitation gets a bit irritating!

I downloaded TS version -- thank you! It's nice -- but my vote must go to Guy Mitchell -- just as figured -- too engrained in my childhood that way!

My vote is for Guy...grew up with that one

Better late than never - Tommy of course

welcome groupie but winner overall was Guy
