Hi...I'm looking for anyone who might be able to tell me what song is the "flip side" for the 1957 hit "Rainbow" by Russ Hamilton. Not sure if I can find where answers appear so could you also email me at [e-mail]

Thanks for any help or leads in how to get this answer.

Oh yes I remember that song very well. I bought the EP at that time with this number on. Unfortunately don't have it anymore.

On the single, the flip side was

"We will make love" which was more popular in the UK whilst "Rainbow" was more popular in the US. Can't find the lyrics.

It goes something like this

When the sun meets the sky and the moon up above
Well go on a journey, youoo and I
To a far distant land, where no one knows
?????????????????
And we will make love

Oh yes we will make love

Cant really remember anymore


RAINBOW
Russ Hamilton

Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow

CHORUS:

I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow
A rainbow, to put on your finger
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon

When we go walking side by side in the moonlight
We count the stars as we go strolling by
Maybe someday we'll own those beautiful diamonds
That glisten like the teardrops from your eyes

You know how I feel on a moment like this
When hand in hand when we reminisce
Your eyes seem to glow when you whisper low
I really love you

CHORUS

And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow

Louis Sparks on "Treasure Isle Meets Tip Top," Sonic Sounds CD 47, 1993.

Here's what I've been able to assemble from various sound samples and quotes found on the Internet, but it's far from complete:

When the moon takes the place of the sun in the sky,
I call for my baby, we go walking by
To a place no one knows
That's how love goes
Now we are alone, we will make love
Oh, yes, we will make love

I wish we could wed, but we are too young,
But one day...

While I go away
Don't let your heart lead you astray
'Cause my love is so true, it's only for you
Remember you're mine...

...To a far distant land
Where our future's planned...

Good grief ! If ever there was a blast from the past. A singer, very much in my formative youth. Made only two hits then went into the oblivion of pop music. I understand he became an entertainments manager at a Butlins' Hotel somewhere!

Hey, thank you Tim and Villan - I had this 45 when I was in high school and wore it out. I have been wanting the lyrics, just singing what I remembered, for all these years. Thanks for the complete Rainbow, Villan, and here's what I can add to We Will Make Love -

Hey, thank you Tim and Villan - I had this 45 when I was in high school and wore it out. I have been wanting the lyrics, just singing what I remembered, for all these years. Thanks for the complete Rainbow, Villan, and here's what I can add to We Will Make Love - The first stanza is as I remember it "When the moon takes the place...

"I wish we could wed, but we are too young
But one day soon, wedding bells will be rung.
In a far distant land, where our dreams are planned
So honest and true, I love you
Oh, yes, I love you."

When I go away, don't ever let your heart go astray
For my love for you is honest and true
Remember you're mine, you're mine all the time
   (this verse changes keys and is an interlude)

......?

It's in my mind that Russ Hamilton committed suicide (shot himself, I think), anyone know for sure?

Hi Villan and others, I have posted the full words of the song "We will make love." It has all the words and this is because I can sing the song which I had learned from my home country where it was a number one hit. I hope you and the others enjoy it. Yours Brehas

Isn't it amazing how you remember songs that you haven't heard for years.

Blimey Sapper82. Must be worth something now.

I only had the EP, which got so worn out, it was thrown away.

Hi Villan and others, I remembered Russ Hamilton's songs because, "We Will Make Love" was a favorite of my father. Other than Rainbow , I think Russ Hamilton made a few others such as "Wedding Ring",etc. I am glad you find it entertaining. Yours Brehas.
