NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Mainstream 629) Out of Los Angeles, this beautiful 1965 release written by Cynthia Weil & Russ Titelman was in competition with another stunning version out of Los Angeles by MARGARET MANDOLPH on the Planetary label. While both versions were excellent efforts and saw no success at the original time of release, they have become quite sought after by collectors of the girl group sound. (DUSTY SPRINGFIELD also recorded a wonderful version which was included in her 1965 LP entitled, 'OOOWEEE!'). Jackie (Miller) & Gayle (Caldwell) were members of the singing group, The New Christy Minstrels and broke away in 1964 to form their duo. While they had a handfull of singles, appeared in a few teen movies and were regular performers on television shows such as 'Shindig!', they never managed to have a top 40 hit. They eventually broke up in the late 60's. Gayle Caldwell passed away at her home in Ft. Bragg, California on April 14, 2009.

These two ladies had good voices and spite of their sucess as a duo they just never dented the charts which like all actsa that were part of the best session players that [played bnehiond their records. They may had made as folk performers in the Minstrels but they very much showed their true talents being a duo group.

Thanks again for posting this version. The Mandolph is superb, but oddly even though I had the Dusty OOOOOWWWEEE!! lp, I don't remember her version! Maybe that's why the song seemed familiar when hearing the Mandolph version. Titelman wrote terrific songs in the mid-60s such as this and "What am i gonna do with you" and the Cookies "I never dreamed". From this to Van Halen?
