Pete Drake - Forever (1964)



Thanks to Mark Duggan for the tip off on this delicious slice of proto-vocoder saccharine weirdness. "He makes his steel guitar talk"!! (and thanks to Heinz for letting me know it's been re-upped on youtube).

Such a pity the video was removed! It was one of the best things I've seen on youtube in ages. Hope the still of it gives some idea.

Thank you for the link. I can't believe it was removed either. Drake is my new obsession. His music brings a comfortable "snuggling by the fire" feeling to my ears.

Itunes nor Amazon carries Forever from what I've researched so this is perfect. It's their own damn fault (pointing to whomever had it removed from youtube) that you're not getting my money. I TRIED TO BUY THE SONG.

it hasnt been taken down you just changed the "http" to "hxxp"

The hxxp is intentional Jessica, prevents the uploads being traced back to here. The video is still down on youtube :-(
