That is indeed the fabulous Jordanaires with newly added bass Ray Walker backing Roy. I too would love to see a list of all the songs The Jordanaires were on 1955- 1969.It is estimated they were on more than 35,000 recordings. More than any other artist(s) in history. This is a great song I have not heard for at least 45 years.

I have a feeling that it is the Jordanaires singing background. Can anyone confirm if it is correct. Am trying to do a reference list of all the songs the Jordanaires sang back up on in the 50's and 60's, excluding Elvis and Ricky !

It's from Roy's early period before his string of hits. It's one of the best of the early sides though, glad you like it!

I never heard of Charlene Arthur, but she looks nice, and I like her outfit.
