    Looking for Singer's Name of Pictures From The Past
    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.
