Billy Eckstine
Enjoy one of the greatest voices EVER!
:o)
Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....
Sorry, but this is always going to be done best by the Platters IMHO...

That's the version we remember best! :o) That song has been around since the 30's - here's a fun one, too: https://youtu.be/K-Quqy5C1Ng
DeleteBilly Eckstine was terrific. Great voice and a terrific way of styling a song. He also played instruments and was a band leader. He is most noted for his rendition of "I Apologize" and that's what I remember about him.
ReplyDeleteKind of sad that kids today don't know who he was. He was a family favorite on the radio. :o)
