For every song you hear and every movie that you see, there is a writer behind the scenes that ‘starts the ball rolling’ so to speak. My son has written a book, and today I saw a printed copy for the first time. You can get this book as an electronic book (ebook) or as a printed book.

I only heard of Vince Taylor the other day when I heard him singing Memphis Tennessee, which is one of my favourite love songs. He seems like one of the big rockers of the early days. It is a pity his career got mixed up with drugs, otherwise he could have been one of the GREATS. His drummer said his moves were better than those of Elvis.

Vince Taylor sings a lot of the same songs as Elvis.

Trouble in the pool room.

I just discovered today that Ken Mullan has passed away, so I have prayed for his family. May God bless you for sharing Ken with us. I hope he is waltzing on the streets of gold now. He won’t waltz across Texas anymore. I also discovered that 26 of his favourite love songs I had listed here been taken off the YouTube, so I have deleted them from this page.
Country roads (take me home)
I can’t stop loving you – My favourite love song by Ken Mullan
One of my favourite love songs. Ken Mullan does it real good.
Another one of my favourite love songs.
For some unknown reason, this website is doing some of the spaces wrong between the lines. I first saw Ken Mullan at Webber Pan, where they have the musical fountain with all those pretty lights shining on the water. I remember him saying that he was influenced by Slim Whitman. Yesterday I was looking at the song “Sunrise tomorrow” by Slim Whitman when I discovered Ken singing it too. So I hope to do a section of his gospel songs on my Gospel website soon: Country Gospel and Bible
