this guy...Darren is soooo good it's breath taking! what a super voice and his delivery of this song (his) has to be one of the best all time no matter what era!
Talk about a Soul born out of his time this is as great as anything that ever hit vinyl. Hopefully Heaven looks and sounds a lot like 1956 for this kid.
Greatest modern Rockabilly Band without a doubt, recorded their album in the Sun Studio, and rightly so, these guys are the real deal R.I.P Darren "Lucky Lee" Spears
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear this song. Audience had no idea just how privileged they were to witness this live. Simply doesnt get better than this, finest writing and vocalising ever! Such a shame he is gone, what a waste....what songs he could have written.
I used to follow the band all around the DC metro area (swing dancer) and was astounded by the sheer raw talent. The ability to write and play this music was second to none. The tragic murder of Darren those many years ago still makes me wonder "what if..." Not only a great player, but a genuinely nice guy who (I believe) didn't know just how amazingly talented he was.
Darren was a very gifted singer and a very nice guy. I had seen them at the Grog and Tankard in DC several times. I actually called Darren's home wondering when they were going to return to the Grog and his wife told me they would resume playing locally in the fall because they were currently on tour in CA. I worked at a TV store and heard the local critic on TV report on the tragedy a few months later. I heard the words "Darren Lee Spears" on the TV, I knew exactly who he was talking about.
In 2004, the original members got together with Eddie Clendening to do two shows, one in Vegas and one in Hemsby, England. Brian Freeman, the bassist, is now into jazz. Lance LeBeau, the drummer, plays in his wife's band the Flea Bops along with other projects. Bill Hull, the guitarist, plays with an alternative rock band. They have no plans to do another show because Darren cannot be replaced, and it would be a tarnish to his image to continue performing without him.
Your Uncle was a legend you must be very proud of him..It would be great and I'm sure there are a lot of fans out there that would appreciate any footage you could put on here... there is a big lack of Go Cat Go footage anywhere. Regards Dave
love this song!!! i liked this song ever since i heard it....but the craaazy part for me was that it turned out to be an outcome in reality for me.........
Just found some more amazing footage of go cat go recording the now legendary 'Please mama please' at Sun Studios!!! found it on VinyluxRecords channel..... shame can't post comments on it though!!
Recently bought Go Cat Go cd Let's Hear It For Go Cat Go on ebay for £50...Wouldn't pay that kinda money for a cd usually,probably never again but it was worth every penny I paid.....
This was such a awesome band its just sad how it all ended because of stupid kids, a voice was silence and he did have such an amazing voice sad we didn't get a chance to experience more of this great band...... but his voice and music will live forever!!!!
@morongo ....That is a great idea....I for one would love to offer my services for such an event. I am the lead singer with COOL CAT CRY, and we do some 'Go Cat Go' covers, and in fact our band name is taken from 'Til the cool cats cry'. Darren was such a star. It's a real loss to the world not having him around, but folks like us guys in COOL CAT CRY will help keep his songs going as long as we can.
yep outcome in reality....cause a girl i had a crush on for like all one year of my junior year ended up moving...i know that sounds lame but, eh i got nothing... HELL YEAH! Darren was awsome *high five*
this guy...Darren is soooo good it's breath taking! what a super voice and his delivery of this song (his) has to be one of the best all time no matter what era!
this guy was really really fantastic! what vocals..WOW! One of the truly best singers (rock &roll) EVER! My goodness, can't get any better than this!

Gives me goosebumps every time I hear this song. Audience had no idea just how privileged they were to witness this live. Simply doesnt get better than this, finest writing and vocalising ever! Such a shame he is gone, what a waste....what songs he could have written.
Love this song ❤️ I like cruising down to PCH and turn this song up.
Go Cat Go has so much potential... RIP DARREN. Great voice, awesome band.
This is one of the great songs ever, " God Bless You Darrin " ~
