Well somebody picked it. I picked "Crying In the Rain" myself along with "Telstar", "Green Onions", "Walk Right In", and "Return to Sender"----gosh, it's starting to occur to me that maybe I am a fan of the King's music!

Yes...I saw your choices and that's when I realized that I must not have hit the button for the Everly's song.

The Belmonts w/o Dion.  The best of late period Doo-Wop.  The arrangment is more sophiscated than at first blush.  Times were still innocent enough to do a great pop song about real teenage heartbreak, but far along enough in the 1960s to go straight up, not watered down.  Great stuff.  Almost forgotten.  I had this on a radio mix tape when I was eleven.  The video doesn't have anything to do with the song itself.
