I have an original acetate by the Revelers of the same song written by Wally Zober. Male lead on this one. Real good.

I picked up the same ACETATE (won on eBay for $20.00) of Ken Darrell And The Revelers - "Never Comin" Back". It's a slightly smoother sound (read: less echo) than the download link you have.

Hate to compare the two but vocals are very much like Pat Boone ("Don't Forbid Me") when he's Rockin'. I say "hate" because Pat get's a bad rap but he does have a great voice and I like him. There might be a bit of Jack Scott thrown in there also.

A great song !!!
