"I was thrilled to see my Uncle's name in print once again (Fred Hughes)! He was and is a talented writer and wonderful singer. Some of his songs were a top seller on Billboard charts and he even appeared on American Bandstand. His soul filled songs bring back memories of how truly inspiring his words could be. Thank you ... for remembering my Uncle and marketing his lost but not forgotten songs."

Good Golly Daddy, you're loved!

"I'm also Johnny Sayles' daughter. My sister Debbie wrote a review on here, and I couldn't agree even more. John Earl Sayles was truly talented and he still is missed. Daddy just had a birthday on February 9. This CD is great, and I'm glad that my sister sent it to me because now I have started a collection just for him. So when I grow up, I can show my children their grandfather was a great singer who passed at an early age, and had a voice out of this world. To me , I know his songs don't relate to my era, but I like Snake In the Grass because it has an upbeat rhythm and I just love hearing his voice. I'm 16 years old now, and even though he died when I was 4, a part of Johnny Sayles still lives within me. I love you Daddy!"

"I think the album reflects the greatness that artist achieve after they have paid their dues and mastered their craft. I recorded on some of Johnny's records that were on George Leaner's labels. I also traveled with him when he was with the Five Du-tones revue. All of his years of experience shows in this album. It is one to treasure."
