Don't know too much about this Gem. It's on the Legendary label Roulette. This one seemed to get lost in the mix. But luckily, i found it. One of the most triumphant intros to a doo-wop/teen tune I've heard. Small, story behind this: Apparently Joel Hamilton had a thing for the secretary who worked at the Studio he recorded at. Like most musicians, it was easier for him to get her attention by writing her a song. So this tune was for her, and I'm sure she heard it. Story is, they got hitched not long after had some kids and are still married. What a fantastic backdrop this tune is to their love story. Another reason for me to cherish such an amazing little record.
Thankyou for visiting. I'm just here to play you some records from my personal collection. I love music, probably more than most anything else in life. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Please follow and share with your friends!
