    I was so lucky to see the older Gene in concert not long b4 he passed & oh boy wasn't I glad I did coz I had no idea he would leave us at only 66 which is way too early really. He was wonderful too by the way, a great concert & he sang all his big hits sounding exactly the same. Thanks to UA-cam we can continue to watch him as well as hear him. He is sadly missed 😔.

I would suggest to you to an album Gene did with Country singer George Jones, in the 60's, it is an amazing album, I'll admit at the time I was perplexed with that possible duo, but being a fan of both I gave it a listen and liked every song on it.

But two completely different voices worked for that one album. How great that all these years later, Gene's music is bringing people together from all over the world - he'd have loved that.

    God, what a pleasure to hear again. Despite growing up to some of his lesser-known songs (as well as the well-known classics), I had forgotten this one. I've had a couple of Gene's greatest hits compilations sitting in my CD rack for about 10 years, gathering dust. This song got me to take another look at those disks and rediscover other "lost" gems like "Who Needs It?", "Lips Are Redder on You," "Yesterday's Hero" and "Shady Lady."
    Despite at one time having a 3 1/2-octave range, I could never sing all the way through his stuff because it was too high for me, even as a kid. I think I know what my next project is.
    Thanks for uploading this one, and for making sure no one forgets how gifted a person he really was.

      My feelings exactly, suzyq. Have you listened to Gene's version of "Crying"? Excellent version . . . Gene seems to be able to hold the high notes a bit longer than Roy BUT this is still one of Roy's signature songs along with "Pretty Woman". They are both my favorite male artists of all-time!
