I spent a fair bit of time over the later years of rickys life driving him and Evelyn to bookings in the u.k. and he still had the voice and even at 83 years old still sang Laura in exactly the same key that he originally recorded it in.
Fantastic smooth vocals throughout his career, 1936 brought us a huge list of tremendous singers, apart from Ricky, there were John Leyton, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Glen Campbell, Jimmy Ruffin, Levi Stubbs (lead singer 4 Tops), Bobby Darin and quite a few more, 1936 was a great year.
Under a F4-B Phantom jet in the hanger bay of the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk CVA63 in 1965……of all places that comes to mind when I hear this song……go figure!
