Spoken word singles are terrible. This one is no exception. Whoever is speaking (Billy plays instruments) clearly thinks that these are important words. They are not. The music, which one could argue is the purpose of the piece, is neither interesting nor very good. Billy Vaughn should have stuck to instrumentals. The phrase “why the white bones” is nauseating in its faux importance. I think I know why Billy Vaughn’s career hit the skids soon after Elvis. What’s surprising is why it didn’t happen sooner.
