Another Tribute to the Greatest Musician /Innovater./Songwriter/Singer/Producer That EVER lived, Buddy Holly... R.I.P Charles Hardin Holley, Never to be forgotten, God bless you Buddy and thank you for leaving such a fantastic legacy of music and memories with us. YOU ARE "THE MASTER"
Sounds just like the recording ,love this song ,l always think of fairgrounds and teddy boys with thier winkle pickers imon in 1961 ,great artist. ,great rock n roll atmospheroc song ,thanks Mike
Always liked Mike and bought several of his 45's including this one plus 'My Little Baby', 'What's The Matter' and 'Don't You Think It's Time.' One of the few singers who can still sing even in his 70's.
Mike Berry ( and the brilliant Outlaws) were my first big influence - from the first time I heard "It's Just A Matter Of Time" - I wanted to write and sing pop songs. 55 years later - I'm still hooked on Mike's songs - Chas Hodges - Billy Kuy - and i'm still getting my songs released. Thanks Mike.
still brilliant after all these years and still as witty I have my 22yr old Daughter hooked on are you being served only fools and horses opened all hours, she says we had it good, but what's wrong is that they had it way too good and got disillusioned.
Desert Magazine article, November 1940, has this ballad being written on a "soft toned old rosewood piano" in a stone house of an Indian trader at Ganado, Arizona in the Navajo Nation sometime around the turn of the last century.
Many moons ago I bought this actually from a mate it was a lovely Extended Play - but then it and several of my other prized 45s got 'half inched' - I grieved ... Mike Berry live forever never dare die, that voice and those songs - bloody marvellous !
The most popular group in Sweden in the early sixties, Hep Stars, had a huge hit with this song in the mid sixties. The keyboard player in this group would ten years later be world famous. His name is Benny Andersson, and was one of the four members of the supergroup ABBA.
Luxembourg on a crystal set? I doubt it unless he lived on the easternmost east coast! The most I could ever get was The Light Programme and The Home Service mixed together. Even mains sets struggled with Luxembourg. Nice story though.
We got Radio Luxembourg on a crystal set in London. The aerial ran all the way along my Mum's clothes line and onto the roof of my Dad's garage. I think listening to this is what made my sister get a subscription to Fabulous 208.

My favorite Buddy Holly tribute song.
Love this song, and what a great live version, whos singing was underated, in my opinion. Thanks Mike Berry.
What a song, what a voice! Love it!
Mike Berry has a great voice. He should have been much more famous.
You have obviously never see Are You Being Served
Mike Berry was also an actor, in "Are You Being Served?"
Always loved this song. Have my beautiful Old Gold label repress 45!

I brought this song when it first came out, and yes Mike, your voice is better than ever. Great performance indeed.

who knew "Mr Spooner" was such a good singer :)
He’s got to be the most underrated singer bar none! He sounds exactly the same live as on his records! He really is a class act!

Great pre-Beatle song with Joe Meek production in 1961. An underrated singer from those days.
