love songs?

i was at work today talking to nick about doo-wop. its one of my favorite things about nick. he loves doo-wop. and he has a pretty good knowledge of it, way better than me. but the irony is he loves a lot of crap. like real bad crap, richard marx crap. regardless, i brought up nolan strong because nolan strong has to have one of my favorite voices ever. a real smooth tenor that kinda gets shaky on the low parts. beautiful. makes him sound kinda nervous. and nothing is more perfect in a love song than sounding nervous. i found a "video" for "if i (oh i)". i think its my fav of his stuff with the diablos:


here's another on i love, its the everly brothers doing "when will i be loved. no one did that haunted pop like those dudes.


i'm gonna post a few more, this next one is by the purify brothers, "can't keep a good man down". i've played this at a few parties, and i think its my fav by these dudes.


this one isn't so much of a "love song", its more uptempo, and originally it was a sam cooke number (which was slower) but sam and dave hopped it up a bit:


i guess i can't end this without sam cooke. so smooth.

Joey, have you read that conversation between Soriano and Dan Melchior in the last Z-Gun? If you haven't, then make an effor to do so. It's one of the best interviews I've ever read.
