my dad is on this song,, way cool,,,,,
ReplyDeleteI have an original acetate by the Revelers of the same song written by Wally Zober. Male lead on this one. Real good.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHate 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 !!!
