    I prefer KK's originals. Used to take this Kris Kristofferson - Singer / Songwriter to parties to prove it to others that his McGee is better than Joplin's. I really hate her voice.

    Joe Melson - 'Dance' (1962)


    Roy Orbison's regular early 1960s songwriting partner - this appears to be the only one of their songs that they both released on record at the time; Joe's recording was on the B-side of a John D. Loudermilk song 'Love is a Dangerous Thing'; Roy's version was issued on the "Crying" LP

    ➜Roy Orbison - Dance

    A demo with the two of them, included on a Bear Family Records box set
