THE LIGHTNING EXP...Songs That Click In The Psyche:<br /><br />THE LIGHTNING EXPRESS (1898)<br /><br />An Ernest Thompson was blinded in an industrial accident in a sawmill at aged 18 and had turn to singing professionally to make a living. He was adept at 26 different musical instruments. Ernest died in 1961.<br /><br />Three years before his death, in 1958, The Everly Brothers re-recorded the song. They took three days in August of '58 to perfect the recording of the song, which became an integral part of The Everly Brothers repertoire. <br /><br />The song was featured in their 1958 Album SONGS OUR DADDY TAUGHT US. For some unknown reason, in The Everly Brothers album, Bradley Kincaid was credited as the writer of this song.<br /><br />'The Lightning Express' by The Everly Brothers is one of my personal favourites. At the recent Jerry Fernandez show known as Pek Kio Keeps Rocking, on October 24th 2015, I had the opportunity to do the song with Peter Chua. A lady from the audience later told me that she could not help crying when she heard the song.<br /><br />Cheers!JOHN CHER (WRITER, PERCUSSIONIST)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-53894943768570105522015-11-11T03:46:25.299+08:002015-11-11T03:46:25.299+08:00Some great memories for me here!

He and wife, Michelle, have lived in Singapore since 2004. <br /><br />Ray has not been seriously involved in the music business since 1971, but stays in regular touch with Dave & Stuart. On a recent visit to see Dave and Stuart at a gig in Cornwall he got up and performed "Love Grows," the first time the three have performed together since the seventies.chakapchakapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-1717332197458558552015-11-10T13:33:55.579+08:002015-11-10T13:33:55.579+08:00Love Grows is one of my favourite songs.
