I met Ray in a used record shop in Oklahoma City in the 80's - he was traveling through town and stopped to buy a few of his old records for friends and family. I was fortunate to get his autograph on a 45 rpm single - though we only spoke for a few minutes I could tell that Ray was down to earth and a great guy!

Ray Peterson is without doubt one of the greatest voices of his era. His brilliant range and vocal delivery were perfect for songs of this genre. Tell Laura i love her is a brilliant song, but it does not stop there, the original wonder of you ( no doubt listened to by Elvis prior to his recording ) and the beautiful goodnight my love or Answer me. Ray's voice is full of emotion and drama. Great!!!

You just don't hear songs like this anymore, teen tragedies or instrumentals either. This is such a beautiful song, even though sad. It's hard to believe it was once banned when you listen to some of the trash they play on the radio now. I was born in the 70s but I grew up with this music. My mother had the biggest collection of 45s this side of the Mississippi. I miss the innocence of that time and the music.

Ray was the 'golden voice' of rock and roll. A dear friend for over 40 years. I believe this recording was part of the National Publc Television "At The Drive-in." Filmed in Austin, TX. 4 and a half octave range....Ray came from an era when you have to have actual 'talent' to get a recording contract. Now, it's all about marketing and sex appeal with an occasional 'real talent' managing to slip through the cracks. RIP Ray.

It saddens me to discover via your message that Ray has passed on. I never heard the news until now. He was a gentleman then and I'm sure a gentleman to the end. I feel fortunate to have shared a moment in time with him. It's Thanksgiving tonight but suddenly I feel sad. Rolland B. Heiss
