Description
IN 1963 AN ELVIS "SOUND ALIKE" NAMED TERRY STAFFORD, KNOCK THE TOP 4 TUNES BY THE BEATLES WITH AN ELVIS RECORD, THAT TERRY STAFFORD RECORDED. IT WAS #1 FOR QUITE A WHILE. HE WAS RECORDING THE "BACK-UP" ALBUM.....AND NEEDED SOME SONGS PRONTO! I WAS IN THE NAVY, BUT MY GREAT AUNT'S BROTHER WAS Y. FRANK FREEMAN, THE VP AND CHAIR EMPARATUS OF THE BOARD OF PARAMOUNT STUDIOS. I HAD JUST A SONG FOR ELVIS, BUT HE WAS BACK IN MEMPHIS WITH PRICILLIA. SO AS I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE PAT VEGAS, LATER OF THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP "REDBONE", ASKED IF I WOULD GIVE HIM 1/2 WRITER'S RIGHTS TO PLACE MY SONG "HOPING", WITH TERRY STAFFORD. OF COURSE, I SAID YES. I SIGNED THE CONTRACTS AND SAILED OFF FOR JAPAN. WHILE I WAS OVER IN THE ORIENT, MY SONG WAS GOING UP THE CHARTS. IT HAD BE "A&R"'D BY JACK NITZCHE, THE 7 TIME EMMY WINNER WHO LATER WORKED WITH SONNY BONO OF "SONNY AND CHER". I MADE ENOUGH MONEY WHILE IN THE NAVY TO GET MY FIRST (NOT NEW THO... FORD CONVERTABLE! PAT IS WORTH 1.7 MILLION, JACK HAS PASSED AWAY, AND I'M SELLING MY RECORDS ON EBAY??? WTF?? OH WELL. I'LL SIGN IT, IF YOU'D LIKE? I HAVE 3 COPIES.....TWO OF THEM ARE D.J. COPIES AND ONE IS THE CANADIAN VERSION ON REO RECORDS, EH? GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
