45 RPMs 52: Ferlin Husky ~ Gone
~
photo by Styrous®
Today is the birthday of American country music singer, Ferlin Husky who was born on December 3, 1925, in Gumbo, Missouri. He was more than a country music singer; he sang honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen top-20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and good looks propelled a seven-decade entertainment career. I loved his big hit, Gone.
In the late 1950s, Husky had a long string of hits, including the
number-one Gone in 1957 (he first recorded Gone as Terry Preston in
1952, but the earlier version lacked the strings and backup singers of
the newly emerging Nashville sound). Gone was a crossover success, also reaching number four on the pop music chart. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song's popularity led to a stint as a summer replacement host in 1957 on CBS-TV's Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts.
The song was recorded at the Owen Bradley Quonset Hut Studio at 804 16th Avenue South in Nashville. Future stars that recorded there were Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee, Bobby Vinton, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, The Byrds, Elvis Costello, Gene Vincent, k.d. lang and Simon & Garfunkel.

In addition to my vinyl collection I'm selling, I have hundreds of
reel-to-reel, pre-recorded tapes I'm selling. This is an entry about one of them that was for sale on eBay (see link below for others). I have the vinyl LP version as
well. Interested? Contact me by email, please, not by a comment.

I remember I was in my mid 20's when I heard the first album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., by Simon & Garfunkel. The song I liked the most from that album was, The Sound of Silence. I recall thinking, what an incredible feat to relate such an intensely emotional appraisal of the state of our world at that time, yet still remain quietly beautiful. I was even more delighted by their follow up album, Sounds of Silence, because the title song had been reworked. It was done without the knowledge or consent by neither Simon nor Garfunkel. They had broken up as a duo. When the two found the song was a top 40 hit, they reunited to go on to record three more albums after Silence before breaking up again. Although the new version sounded better than the acoustic version, I still liked the quiet declaration of the acoustic one. Near the bottom of this post there are links to the two versions on
YouTube so you can hear them for yourself, if you'd like.
