Billy Thompson

 “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye” is an evergreen blues ballad and this version of Al Reed’s song for the Columbus label out of Boston may is certainly amongst the best. Billy Thompson’s light tenor voice and slightly lisping delivery rather suit the feel of the song which was originally cut by Danny White on Frisco in 1962. The arrangement is similar to the original but the bridge section improves on it in my view. Lovely.

Arranger Alf Clausen is making rather more money these days as he deals with the music on The Simpsons.

 

Note ~ "Kiss tomorrow goodbye" can be found on the Ace UK CD "When A Man Cries".
