Thanks. I think that was it. I am going to see if there is anything on him. He supposedly had a hit with that song. The film clip looked like it was from the 50's. Well, the song is from the 60's. He recorded it for a movie called The Commitments. There is stuff all over the web about him.
I seem to remember they mentioned something about the Beatles knocking him out of the #1 song so it may have been the 60's. In fact, I think I remember the song. I'm pretty old.
and I am glad Idol made an exception.
