*LYRICS BELOW* Chucky Owens & The Dots from 1961 Chucky Owens - Lead Stanley Morgan - 2nd Tenor, Guitar George Bledsoe - Baritone (maybe Bass fiddle also) Jon Dix - Bass ----------------------- Chucky Owens & The Dots were a vocal Quartet out of Los Angeles County that formed in 1959-1960. Since they sang in a similar style to The Ink Spots, they sometimes were billed as "The Sensational Ink Spots" noting that they weren't "pretending" to be The Ink Spots but simply singing in the "Ink Spots style". Owens had previously sang with Charles Fuqua's New Ink Spots successfully as a rhythm singer. Before that, he sang in stage productions and nightclubs in Los Angeles. Owens was born in 1924 in Birmingham Alabama and died while on tour in Winema Lake Oregon in 1980 at the age of 58. His doctor had recommended that he undergo open heart surgery before the tour but Owens said he would rather sing. -------------------------------------------------------------- LYRICS: Beyond the reef where the sea is dark and cold My love has gone and my dreams grow old There'll be no tears there'll be no regretting Will she remember me will she forget I'll send a thousand flowers where the trade winds blow I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so Someday I know she'll come back again to me Till then my heart will be beyond the reef I'll send a thousand flowers where the trade winds blow I'll send my lonely heart for I love her so Someday I know she'll come back again to me Till then my heart will be beyond the reef
