Ernie K. Doe - "I Cried My Last Tear"

Here is the very catchy flip side to "A Certain Girl," which I posted back on 3/22/11.
I get a great New Orleans vibe from this song and finding myself humming it for a while after listening to it.

Ernie K. Doe - A Certain Girl

Ernie K-Doe (February 22, 1936 - July 5, 2001), born Ernest Kador, Jr., was an African American rhythm and blues singer best known for his 1961 hit single "Mother-in-Law" which went to #1 on the Billboard pop chart in the U.S.
"A Certain Girl" on Minit Records, was released in 1961 and is a great dance party number. Dad's copy got a lot of plays and is pretty scratchy, so here is a cleaner copy. Enjoy!
