She was always young at heart....Kind of dumb and kind of smart.

One of Bobby Russell's best songs, IMO, is Sure Gonna Miss Her, by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.

Actually, there's an interesting story about the two different Gary Lewis versions of this song that have appeared on-record. (Look it up, if interested!)

In either case, both versions featured the stellar flamenco guitar work of legendary session guitarist and character, Tommy Tedesco.

When I was in the Air Force a met a South Vietnamese student pilot who loved that stupid song. He asked me to write down all of the lyrics so he could learn to sing "Honey" perfectly. I did it because he was a good fellow, but what a nightmare!

I hope he got out before the NVA took over.

Compared to what passes as music today these type songs are wonderful. Even country music has gone to the dogs.

I wish the Smothers Brothers' "Honey Museum" sketch was on YouTube.

Not my favorite song.

And the Perfect Country Western song,

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison,
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck, She got runned over by a damned old train

I have always loved this song. When I was a little kid I thought it was the saddest song in the world.

Honey may be maudlin, but that doesn't change the fact that Bobby Goldsboro was one fine singer back in the day.

Two (in my opinion) fine Bobby Goldsboro songs:

I'm a Drifter

Look Around You (Check out the wickedly topical social commentary!)

He also recorded a more mature song entitled Summer (The First Time).

A few years later, Russell made this novelty song that had some minor airplay in 71.
