    Oh, beautiful Lana

  • Collywobbles from Vancouver, B.c.Lana was a monster hit in 1962 in Vancouver reaching number 1 for 3 weeks. Why it did not reach those heights in other areas I don't understand.
    One of his very best, and there were many.
  • Barbara from Boonville, InI don't think I've heard many songs by Roy that I don't like, my favorite is Mama, Evergreen then every other song he sung
