Not sure what to say?

A fan of Phil Phillips, I was 12 years old in rural SW Virginia when that song came out. One of my favorites over the last 64 years. Hooked me on 50's music.

Thank you for this wonderful song.

RIP sir. Thanks for the gift you left this world that was your voice and music.

I song I remember when I was only 13 yrs old and so wanted to be in love.

His Sea of Love song is a living memorial and living testiment to his great talent and an even bigger capacity to his great ability of expressing deep sentiments of Love in sharing such a beautiful song with the world . It is my favorite that I've loved since it's beginning . Jim L. Boggs

Thank you Mr Phillip for an incredible song that I grew up listening to snd loving. Our small dances put on by the local churches always had this song as one of the favorites. I can see my mother While growing up in port Arthur doing her ironing while us kids play records. Yours and fats dominos walking to New Orleans kicked her up a notch on dancing around the ironing board. Great memories to go with a great song. Many thanks for Sharing your incredible talent.
