My True Story - The Jive Five
2:34
single, 1961
Written by Eugene Pitt, Oscar Waltzer, and Joe Rene
A soulful doo wop story-song about the sadness of unrequited love. She loves him, he loves another. "Love will make you happy / And love will make you cry / Love will make the tears fall / When your lover says goodbye." This is a true story. Only the names have been changed. Eugene's heartfelt vocal, backed by the high, fluttering trills of the other Five, makes this song a tearjerker for all who have recently felt the sting of Cupid's mischievous arrow.
