Wonderful song, wonderful singer, wonderful clip. Beautiful lyrics. Love this. It's also one of my favourite Johnny Cash songs. Thanks so much for putting this up.
David Walsh
One of the great singers of the fifties and sixties. He always made lovely records.

A fitting testimony to the great Michael Holliday's enduring legacy is that Dean Martin recorded a faithful version of Remember Me in his honor in 1965. One of the absolute masters, and a pioneer in studio experimentation (sound on sound, overdubs, etc.). He lived the life to the fullest, and indeed many wanted to be him (myself included). Most horrifically, his legacy ultimately consumed him. He is greatly, greatly missed.
