RE-UP 'CARIBBEAN'

 
I've been noticing that this post has been getting a few views just lately, so I checked out the link and found out it was no longer valid. If you FIND a link that's no longer working and you want the file just leave a comment and I'll get it up and running again.
 
Mitchell Torok was born in Houston, Texas on October 28, 1929 and became known as Mexican Joe after a song he wrote for Jim Reeves.
Caribbean is a nice up-tempo number while the flipside 'Weep Away' is a pure Country & Western weeper.
Two more discs from Mitchell appeared on the UK London label; ‘Hootchy Kootchy Henry (From Hawaii)’ and ‘The Haunting Waterfall’.
He did have a tour of the UK with Johnnie Ray and the John Barry Seven in 1957.
 
Mitchell Torok with the Louisiana Hayride Band.
Originally issued on 78 in February 1954. 45 vinyl released mid 1954.
