Phillips was a member of the Gateway Quartet and a bellhop before he recorded "Sea of Love". The song was arranged and produced by Eddie Shuler for neighbor George Khoury's label. After three months of work on the arrangement, building up the vocal group and trying out different musicians, the song was ready for release. It sold heavily and was leased to Mercury Records. "Sea of Love" went to # 2 in the U.S. pop charts and spent 14 weeks in the top 40, as well as reaching # 1 on the R&B chart. It sold over two million copies in 1959
Phillips was deprived of a hit in the UK although his version received a considerable amount of airplay on the BBC Light Programme and Radio Luxembourg. However, in the UK "Sea of Love" was covered by British rock n roller Marty Wilde who took it to No. 3 on the pop charts

My name is Philip
I am a poet
I'll be dead before you know it!
And I just turned nine
and in ten years
I'll run out of time!
I practice French and play piano with my mother
I'll never get to meet my youngest brother!
you're trying to start Americas bank, I'm proud of you Pa!
un...deux...trios
Un, deux, trois, quatre, CINQ!

In case your too lazy to go look at lyrics this is the poem:
Daddy Daddy Look!!
My name is Phillip
I am a poet and I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned 9
You can write rhymes but you can't write mine(WHAT!?)
I practice french and play piano with my mother(Uh huh)
I have a sister but I wanna little brother(Okay?)
My daddy's trying to start america's bank
UN DUEX TROIS QUATRE CINNNNQ(Bravo!)
@kmr.creatz
I love this! Itβs so cute! Yes my little innocent smol bean! Spread your wings and sour!
All the moments are cute! Especially when he says βI just turned nine!β Just look at his face!
And his face when Eliza says βPhillip, take it away!β
Oh and can we please appreciate how cute Baby Angieβs face is? Sheβs also adorable! And he looks like John Laurens...π’
AND IMAGINE IT:
βMy name is poet, I am a Phillip!β
And also this:
βMy name is Phillip, I am a poet, I wrote this poem just to show it. You can save lives but you canβt save mine! I practice playing piano with my mother, I wonβt see my little brother. My Dad told me to aim at the sky, if only I could be saved...β
most of the ideas that I just listed it is other peopleβs ideas that I combined. CREDIT THEM!!!!
But I DID combine all the memes π

Well my two sisters have curly hair so he probably got it from my side or his because I donβt know what type of hair his mom and dad had.
