Shame
a fantastic singer and he was in a film with Arthur Mullard "It's Trad Dad" see clip above. A Northern Soul staple. RIP Gene
just found out
he wrote "Compared To What"
His biggest songs
were probably:
A Hundred Pounds of Clay - US #3, 1961
Tower of Strength - US #5, 1961
Point of No Return - US #21, 1962
As was the norm back then, in the UK we got insipid cover versions of these great songs by the likes of Craig Douglas and Frankie Vaughan.
Thanks for that
Absolutely stunning. They genuinely don't make them like that anymore sadly.
