Tonight Could Be The Night

The Velvets were a five-man Doo Wop group formed in 1958 by Virgil Johnson. Virgil taught English in Odessa and Lubbock Texas, and eventually became a high school principal in Lubbock. For many years, he DJ'd part-time at the Lubbock rock station KDAV.

This was included on their first album, which they recorded in Nashville at the invitation of Roy Orbison. The group also had a hit with "Lana," which was written by Orbison and reached #1 on the Japanese charts. (thanks, David - Lubbock, TX, for above 2)
