Bio:
John Phillip Baptiste, 14 March 1931, Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA. Phillips wrote his one hit, "Sea Of Love", to impress a would-be girlfriend in 1958. He was introduced to producer George Khoury, who recorded the song at the Goldband Recording Studio and released it on his own label, credited to Phil Phillips And The Twilights. Although the song never had the intended effect upon the girl, the single sold well locally, resulting in the larger cury Records pig up distribution and the ballad reached number 2 in the US national chart and number 1 in the R&B chart. The song was typical of the "swamp-rock' sound that Cajun community of the bayou of southern Louisiana was producing by such artists as Rod Berd, Tommy Mc, Johnnie AllPhillirecorded seveother songs during the next few years, but never again managed to chart.

Apr 9, 2012 - I really love this song... the most controversal link I have seen in a experimental video from one of our artists at arts academy.. A man driving a car, his wife in the trunk, driving aroud on a barrier lake, drinking liquer, you saw sequences of them in love and then he comes home and chatch her with another man in bed. Finally, he crashed into to sea and they sink within the car... pretty hard stuff, I think...

Nov 17, 2011 - nothing wrong with that music is for everybody. Music is probably the best lover, great music accepts and will never reject you. It makes heartbreak or any kind of pain seem like a waste of precious living time.
