... In message , Bob Hobden writes "Gill Smith" wrote were there any? only from 'the other side' otherwise this ng could join in the great 75 years memorial bash maybe we still can: design an Elvis Bed OK, guitar-shaped for sure...... Funny but I could never see, or hear, what the fuss was all about. Thought his "singing" was boring, his gyrations pathetically childish even and it hasn't improved with time. Oh. I wouldn't agree there. He had a good voice although some of his later stuff was dreadful. I've grown to appreciate his later stuff more and more so much so that, apart from that first song (something about "Train Arri-ive") I dislike almost all his 50's oeuvre - not least because you can trace a direct link between it and contemporary 'country' -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/ |
