R.I.P. Tom...I remember that dark night in 1975. Killed in a tragic accident on his way to play at a festival dance in County Donegal. In those days Tom and the Big 8 Showband would attract crowds of well over 3000..

Tom is burried near where my parents are laid in peace in Tramore. He was a big star around Waterford in his day but it never changed him. He was a gent.

This was my favorite record for me and for all sorts of reasons, I felt it was an immediate hit after we recorded it at EMI Records in London. The A&R man in the studio left me do my thing on it and I was able to produce a sound that I could never remotely replicate on stage.Tom did a wonderful job on it.

+Carolyn Dunphy I remember this song so well! - it brings me back to the mid-sixties when I was about 15 years old and starting to get interested in lads and showbands and the top ten and all the exciting times that were ahead of me in my teens. Wonderful memories. RIP Tom, - gone too soon. Thank you Carolyn.

Great song. Royal Showband are excellent band (I may be a little biased as I am a blues/country/rock singer from Waterford and Brendan, Tom and all the best opened the doors for music in South East Ireland).

I listened to the original by Tom Dunphy, the Jimmy Buckley version, and Gene Pitney's rendition and ........ the winner is Daniel O'Donnell. Unfortuneately his performance isn't available here, if it is I can't find it.

This Russell & Medley composed song (sung by Pitney) was more melodic than Tom Dunphy's version, although he sang a good version. Like all songs, it's up to the listener in the final analysis. I like Gene Pitney's version better. Rest in peace Gene.
