Quality reply Ken. :thumbsup:

I dunno about this record at all.

Sounds like a track from an old movie.

I have visions of John Wayne riding off into the sunset to meet the Spanish Armada.

Sorry have to disagree - It's the A side that's Mr King's finest moment, even though it's a Pop Classic.

This I belive was the B side to 'Stand by Me'. Ok, it borders on melodrama like a lotof other records of the period. But as a work of popular art it must come close to perfection.

I like it ........nice vocal as always.......

I like Ben E's 'walking in the footsteps of a fool' on Atco ....first heard this a while back via Carl Willingham at the Greatstone.......

I have one for sale if anyone wants one @ £5

Fantastic record , though my own personal faves would be either " Forgive this fool " , " Tears ,Tears ,Tears " or " She's gone again " , what a brilliantly consistent artist .Best ,Eddie

Reminds me of Robinson Crusso who only had Friday to look forward to

That was a bit spooky to?

Should never have subjected us young kids (then)to that !

But just to make sure you did watch it they came up with that title music

which hynotized you and drew you in!

Anyone got a copy?
