I was so surprised to find this website. My father is Jack Kitchen of Jack Kitchen and the Rock-a-Billies. This song came out when I was less than 6 years old, but of course, I was brought up listening to this music. The flip side of the 45, "Alone on Lonely Street" is wonderful too. I'm so glad that people are still enjoying my father's music. He is truly a naturally gifted musician who literally taught himself to play many instruments. Nowadays his tastes run more to gospel music, but it's nice to know that the soundtrack to my childhood is still appreciated today.
