Rob: I used to play in a band and the guitarist sometimes sang this song during breaks. Having never heard the original track before I downloaded it from from iTunes only recently - I wasn't disappointed, I like both versions :-)
What do you know about this artist or track that others may not?
Rob: The Belmonts toured frequently, often on package tours with other stars. In February 1959, Dion passed up a plane ride on the chartered plane that later crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa killing Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson, a.k.a. The Big Bopper.
