I know Neil Sedaka released his version of "Pictures From The Past" in the 70's, but I'm looking for a previous version, notsung by him, but having the same words and title.
Here is part of the Lyrics that I still remember:
Darling since you left me
I'm so sad and blue
And I count my memories one by one
With photographs of you.
Darling I remember
We were happy then
Oh what I'd give
If I could live
Those moments once again.
Pictures from the past
Bring back a memory...

Could it be Jon Shain

I never heard of Jon Shain before, but if he was active in 1959/1960 it might well be. The only point is I'll see if I can get to hear even for 30 sec. that singer and see if it's him or not.
Thanks for your suggestion!
And I'll let you know about it.
Thanks again.

Jimmy Clanton recorded it before Neil Sedaka.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have alreasy written to a Jimmy Clanton fan site to see if they can help me find that song (Pictures From The Past) either on vynil, cassette, cd or whatever as long as it is that original version.
Thanks again and sincere best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful and Prosperous New Year.
