such profound lyrics too!!
"I have never seen a girl like you Marlene"
Revisiting this thread I could not help noticing that the link I originally provided to that short sample of the single Marlene

Yes yet another ditty from the pen of Les Pouliot
-by the Red and Les Trio is now nonfunctional but a quick search found that it has moved to:-
http://rcs-discography.com/rcs/artis...y=red-20left00
If you left click the loudspeaker symbol immediately in front of the song title you can hear the rather underwhelming 32 second sample and if you right click it then "Save Target As" you could download that sample as a mall (94KB) file ss34774.mp3,
Similarly on
http://rcs-discography.com/rcs/artist.php?key=shea0700
is another sample this time a 1962 Red Shea single called ominously
Moon Boogie Twist – (instr.) — Red Shea
It reminded me that I posted at length to Char's April 2015 thread concerning Red's son Scott at:-

and I see from:-
http://www.songkick.com/artists/8408068-scott-shea
