First heard this as one of the thousands of samples in The Avalanches sample-epic "Since I Left You" album

In the game, is it Elvis or somebody impersonating Elvis, I for a sec thought this was impersonating but maybe it's actually Elvis impersonating himself.

The picture of the singer on this looks a bit like Kyle when he was younger, at least based on some of the pictures I've seen of younger Kyle.

An interesting approximation of what a person who never heard the blues would think the blues sounded like, he got the forlorn lyrics, but sung upbeat with happy acoustic guitars and whistling solos. Strange! Good but strange.

My project never did a Pat Boone song, although his songs are ok... competent... his songs seems to have not aged well with critics and music-buffs, and oh my, said some crazy things about Obama, ok now I get it.
Oh, he also doesn't like the gays. Fun guy.

Woah
No thank you, Mr. Boone.
Dorsey song is alright, oof may have been a hit because he just passed....
Charlie Parker... died in front of the TV while watching a Dorsey Brothers' show. When in November 1956 Tommy died in his sleep from choking on his own vomit, Jimmy, already desperately ill, carried on for some months with Tommy's silent trombone displayed on stage, until in June 1957 he succumbed to lung cancer.

It's a real resemblance, isn't it? He does look a little more wild-eyed but then, he is crazy with love in this photo.

Pictures of Kyle are always creepy. Something about the way the hair seems to follow you when you move.

I assume we're going to get at least two more Patti Page songs before this is through, one of which is a notorious novelty song but isn't as bad as you remember, and one that is one of the best new-to-me songs I've heard this year and is absolutely fun to play on piano. None of them is this, which is beautiful and fine.
