Pete S Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 If only the singer didn't sound like Elvis this would go down as one of the all time great beat ballads..

Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 The singer on this record is Jimmy Walker - who replaced Bobby Hatfield in the Righteous Brothers between 1968 and 1974... A sublime record and a sublime performance IMO - esp. as the original version, by Wynn Stewart, is one of the most hardcore Country records of the 1960s! TONE

Weirdly I processed a Jimmy walker solo 45 on Challenge 45 last week gonna have to dig it out and take another listen..
Pete S Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 Of course they are best know for "Lies" which is the greatest Beatles take off ever, on the YouTube clip of "Lies" someone actually says "for 35 years I've thought this was The Beatles". They get everything absolutely spot on, not only the voice but also the song is a carbon-copy of The Beatles circa 64..

I bought this off your site actually John, amazingly it was the very same copy I sold to Carl about 3 years before that! What's the chances. I haven't seen another one before or since...
