Chuck Bowers – You And I Are In The Same Mood (Decca, 1958)

Johnny Bond – All I Can Do Is Cry (Columbia, 1957)

Yeah, that one always chills with it’s rhythm, it’s the best version to me in anyway. :-)

Ocie Smith – Lighthouse (Cadence, 1957)

What can I say about it, it may a classic, but it always brings me back to my teen-years somehow – I first heard it when I was 14 I think, and I thought „Wowo, WHAT the *** is THAT??“ So, it was one of my very first records. :-)

Duffy Power – What Now? (Fontana, 1961)

Here’s my pick for moments where I just wanna rest myself and cry… :/ I always play it because, I just WANNA hear it – the song never looeses it’s tragical magic. An absolutely masterpiece, and a tune that maybe brought me to songwriting in my middle-teens.. Wish I could thank you Duffy!!! :-(

Bob Newkirk – Rhythm Or Blues (Clinton, 1961)

That one is just loud, but nice in it’s dirty way – I don’t play it often, it’s a tune for really special situations I think.. ;-) ^^

Time for speech-tunes. A song I pick to mend my broken feelings and mirror all my faded dreams they never supposed to ever come true in any way… :/ Oh Debbie, WHY have you been married to John Ashley..? He later produced series (such as „The A-Team“) that were completely discriminatory against women… I know, you were „in love“ and you perhaps just didn’t see but, you definitely deserved someone better! A shame there’ll be no chance I can ever tell this… You’re great dear Debbie!! :-)
