Talk Too Much / California Sun Roulette, #3 (24. 10.1960)

You talk too much, you worry me to death,
You talk too much, you even worry my pet,
You just talk, you talk too much.

You talk about people that you don't know,
You talk about people wherever you go,
You just talk, talk too much.

You talk about people that you've never seen,
You talk about people, you can make me scream,
You just talk, talk too much.

Words and Music by Joe Jones & Reginald Hall

Coverversion von Frankie Ford
“His first release for Imperial was »You Talk Too Much.« Joe Jones had cut the song for Roulette Records in New York and they put it on the shelf. They cut it exactly like Joe Jones' version. After the session, they took it to Los Angeles on a Monday night. It was mastered on Tuesday, and by Wednesday and Thursday it was pressed and being sent out. The public couldn't buy the Joe Jones version, so everyone was buying up the Frankie Ford 45. Imperial sold close to a million copies on Frankie's cover record.” –

Frankie Ford

“Frankie Ford sang his way to rock n’ roll immortality via the mega hit, »Sea Cruise« on Ace Records in 1959. The record has since become one of the biggest selling rock n’ roll records of all time; many millions have been sold all over the world. His second million seller was »You talk too much« which was a »cover« of the Joe Jones record: ironically, Frankie’s version outsold the Jones version due to record company problems that Joe Jones was involved with.” –
