Upload #1547 ~ HQ from UK 45 pictured ~~ Great B side with Ben E King still on vocals. A side is "Lonely Winds" which is as good. No UK Hit on this & fairly scarce on UK . USA #9 R&B #54 Pop ## Not the same song as on the B side of The Penguins "Earth Angel" ""Hey Senorita" (led by Ben E. King)," ... http://www.uncamarvy.com/DriftersLate/drifterslate.html ... this guy is very well rearched. Others say 'Charlie Thomas' on lead? "Finally, after almost a year of touring and practicing, the group was ready to record. The first Crowns/Drifters session was held on March 6, 1959 and was under the artistic control of songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, former owners of the Spark label. The four songs recorded were: "Hey Senorita" (led by Ben E. King), "There Goes My Baby" (Ben E. King), "Baltimore" (Charlie Thomas and Elsbeary Hobbs), and "Oh My Love" (Ben E. King). Atlantic released "There Goes My Baby"/"Oh My Love" in May of 1959." ***HEY YOU MUSIC LOVER!*** We have over 1400 Music Videos on our Channel in 1950s-Early 1970s Soul, Beat, Psych. Reggae, Rock & Roll, R&B, Ska, Blues, Northern, Folk etc etc. Check out what else we have as plenty more goodies like this one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As on our "About Us" page.... well hid on the Channel page This is OUR PICK of 1950s & 1960s Songs We Like or Find Interesting. Lots of Obscure & Unknown Tracks to KEEP MUSIC ALIVE. Mostly from the UK 45 as pictured. Never from CD. Good Music is Getting Forgotten unless it's shared. Record Collectors usually keep unknowns quiet, thing is nobody else will know it & it'll not be wanted in years to come. Some tracks we've known 20-30 years are still not known much, if can take off once we post. General Pop isn't us, we like The Obscure Gems & Rare Classics. Mod, Northern Soul, Reggae, Popcorn, Doowop, Rock & Roll, Beat, Psych, Funk, Jazz & more. Early Cartoons too, the Felix The Cat series. Our YouTube since 2016 has really got a huge amount of interest from Music Fans, this is fascinating to see. On seeing our early YT videos getting positive reaction, to realise the weary site we did use has little influence as our Stats show. We've got lots more to post & still are finding more to interest. Happy Listening! No Requests Please...
