Another great Philly artist debuted a local favorite in 1968. Johnny Caswell And The Crystal Mansion combined tremendous instrumentals and lyrics reminiscent of the 1950s to give us "The Thought Of Loving You." Again, the cultists took ownership of this quick ballad and kept it alive for all of these years. As with some others that I have posted , my wife (then girlfriend) Janice and I enjoyed this song done by a local club band The Exceptions in the Philly suburbs and "down the shore." The ...

This is essentially the same video as previously posted. This version corrects the unfortunate errors in timing of my last posting. This is a seldom heard rendition of the great WW II song made famous by both Glenn Miller and Vera Lynn. Darin, as he always does, adds minor lyric changes that put his particular style to the song. The tempo gets the foot tapping which is extremely unusual for this normally romantic ballad.
