Okay, I admit I liked "Walking in the Sand", "Three Stars" and "Ebony Eyes"...."Teen Angel"..."Tell Laura I Love Her"...etc.
I guess you had to be a kid during that era to fully "appreciate" that genre of melodramatic music. Now, perhaps nostalgia has something to do with that also.
I purchased a 45 rpm of "Three Stars" when it first came out and still have it.
