Sunglasses After Dark




Hello children, gather ‘round and listen to that story…
Dwight Pullen was born in the poor neighbourhood of Blountsville, Alabama on March 5, 1931 .He penned 'Everybody's Got A Date But Me' and co-wrote 'She She Little Sheila' for Gene Vincent's 'Crazy Times' LP (1959). He’d cut Sunglasses After Dark' (Carlton 455) in 1958, but the record sadly failed to ignite the charts .Anyway, 'Sunglasses' has passed into that select group of discs that are now rightly regarded as rock 'n' roll classics. Unfortunately, Dwight Pullen was another victim of cancer : he died on November 24, 1961. He was only 26.
I hate mondays.

Alright, I'm on to you now... I think you're going through the Songs The Cramps Taught Us compilations one track at a time, finding more songs by the same artists, and googling up some interesting bio info to go with it. Well, it's a formula for success! Keep up the great work (and if you don't know what comps I'm talking about, check 'em out... you've posted probably half the songs from them already!).

Hey, I wasn't complaining, folks... I was just wondering why so many of these songs were familiar to me. I applaud the fine work of the Reverend!

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
