Hi there,
The artist is James Darren.
The song is” Goodbye Cruel World “.
He starred in the tv series ” The Time Tunnel ”
Another hit of his was ” Her Royal Majesty”.
Yet another hit song was called ” Conscience ”
He made 2 appearances on ” The Donna Reed Show”.
Thank you.
Well, the lyrics are from Goodbye Cruel World by James Darren but I’ve forgotten the other hits he may have had. Seems to me that he died not long ago. Sorry…that’s all I got.
