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

I'm approaching 80 but the feelings and memories of those years easily return when I hear songs like this.

@Val NaufftsYours is a great truth and I think it is beyond explanation. True love never dies, though it can bring great sorrow as well as great joy. What trivia we encounter in our lifetimes. But true love, that seems without end.

I was in high school when this song came out and it blew us all away. I can remember many slow dances to this beautiful song. I was soooooooo lucky to have experienced the 50’s. What an era for music and it’s gone with the wind!!!

Everytime I hear this song I cant help but break out into tears. It takes me back to being a little punk kid in LA and just living my life with Mom. I miss her so much its unreal I cant believe it's been 21 years since shes passed but when she comes to mind that pain and shock comes fresh it's almost like a grief that I still to this day struggle with and the more time goes by the more lonliness pours in 😭💔

Little-late to the show, here--but just wanted to say you done a GREAT-job on the remaster! Sound's sharp and clean as a pin! I used to be able to sing this, just to "chill"-for awhile, but now I can only "croak"-it! (But I still sing it, when no one's around. I'm about 60% deaf in both--but, I still sound good, to ME...!)☺

Hearing this tune, by the original, Phil Phillips; and it's 1959 all over again...Arguably, things were simpler and it was a better era.

+e8ghtmileshigh1 actually I'm post-teen but I listen to what my ears like. Meaning rock music of the the 60s, 70s, and 80s like The Clash, The Who, Van Halen, etc. I'm not a music scholar. I like what I like. Sure, I like Sam Cooke, Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, and B.B King but I prefer classic rock, hard rock and heavy metal. And you insulting me won't get you anywhere

Phil Phillips passed away on March 14th, 2020 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He was 94 years old...
He was a singer and songwriter best known for his 1959 hit “Sea of Love”*. The song was a million-seller that was later covered by other artists, including popular versions by Del Shannon in 1981 and the Honeydrippers in 1984...

For the two weeks "Sea of Love" was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "The Three Bells" by the Browns...

Celebrate Life With Jere Mc!: GoFundMe is, indeed, a charitable-site. But even though I've never met the gentleman? What little I've been able to "glean" from reading about him? He seems to be a VERY-humble fellow, and just thankful for, I dunno...life in general. What I'm getting at is: I don't think he'd accept a GoFundMe gift for ANY-reason, at least not directly-attributed to himself? Just an-opine, we all have one, legitimate or not...! :)

Gotta keep going, my years are getting shorter...turned 72 in Dec & RDC turned 75 in July...can't turn back time or hold the years from going forth.."what will be will be"...guess that only God knows what is in the wind!!! I can still cross my fingers, pray & pray...
