DELBERT BARKER : MIDDLETOWN
Here's a country weeper by Delbert Barker. I don't have much info on him other than he was born in 1932, moved to Ohio when he was a child and recorded for several labels....some which were on the rockin' side. Someday I may stumble upon those gems.
Delbert Barker-Kisses Don't Lie
UPDATE:
I was recently contacted by Delbert!! He's still active in Ohio in both the country & gospel field. He was kind enough to supply some much needed info which included that his cousin the late Ralph (Jr) Barker supplied all the guitar work for him. on his records. Plus, most of his sides are available on recent comp cds (check rockincountrystyle.com for info & then search them out). Delbert also supplied the following pics:
From back in the day....

A rockin' bonus!!!:

A HUGE THANK YOU to Delbert for contacting me & supplying info. Best wishes to him!
