Fifty years.
If you're a singer and you've never really listened to this song, listen to it now. Sure, the arrangement verges on treacle, but Buddy's voice is amazing -- he shows the sort of complete control of his vocal instrument for which people like Sam Cooke are acclaimed.
This was one of his last recordings, and the distance he had traveled in eighteen months (as both singer and songwriter) is remarkable. Where he could have gone had fate not intervened, we'll never know.
