What Am I Living For/ Hang Up My Rock And Roll ShoesThis great single was released shortly after Willis' untimely death in April 1958, both presenting an eerie premonition of his demise. Both sides are great enough to make Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles ever made, with the flip side at #409 and the A side is at #384! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and very nearly Mint vinyl and audio.
