Interesting, Timi was White and sang in Black style.

Roy Hamilton was Black and sang in a White style!

Yeah great song by Timi Yuro.

I was a fan of about 6 songs by Elvis. But the real R&R kings of the mid to late 50s was Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Antoine “ Fats” Domino.
(Well Little Richard was perhaps a queen of R&R. ).

When Elvis got fat, wore white leather jumpsuits and shilled in Los Vegas he was through to me.

I was returning from the rifle range in August 1977 when the DJ on the radio announced his death. He was young. Sad.
