It has been mentioned this was the first song he ever written but never recorded and though It's been mentioned here it was reocrded by Geogia Gibbs, I've also heard that this isn't the same song.
must be a different song..somewhere along the way in conversation/interviews in the last 45 years I'm sure Gordon would have mentioned that someone DID record it but not him.
He took his song home and that was that..He moved on ...
