It Was So Long Ago

(4 out of 5 stars)
"I was little but I still remember "Tragic Romance", "Hangman's Boogie" and "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" (not to be confused with the later Stevie Wonder hit) but I still go to my twenty-dollar reissued 45 vinyl for "Candy Kisses" by George Morgan as it was GM's signature song. And "Tennessee Waltz" is Patti Page's. Sorry, Cope. There weren't all that many "superstars" when Copas was recording but he had a steady issue of fundamental country music done in a way that touched people. Those songs as I recall them are right here and I recommend this compilation. The last song I remember by this man is "Goodbye Kisses", a heartfelt tune, from about a year before his plane crash which also took his contemporary Hawkshaw Hawkins and country legend Patsy Cline. He is well worth remembering."
