And The Stiffs Just Keep On Comin'
- Thread starter Radknowski

Reminds me of a mystery artist years ago - Gene Pitney. His career had kind of cooled off in the late 60s and Musicor (his label), hyped the song "She's a Heartbreaker" without an artist named on the first promo copies. Might have had the letters "GP" on the label though.
At first listen though, it was pretty obvious that Pitney was the singer.

Ok, you got me there, I wasn't aware that there was separate and distinct version with Leo Sayer. I thought you were giving some credit few people thought was due, such as the Beach Boys backing Chicago on "Wishing You Were Here"...or Linda Ronstadt's backing vocals on "An American Dream".
In 1993, a gentleman who knew all the key characters in the story, told me about when Linda Ronstadt's backing band were all leaving to go off on their own...guess it was circa 1970 - 71 (does that mean they played on "Long Long Time"?)...anyway the gentleman explained how they were getting chastised by people for leaving a sure thing with Ronstadt and going off on their own as...The Eagles.
While we're on the subject...here's an Eagles' single that only got to #77 - "James Dean".
In case I didn't state it before in this thread: Cheap Trick - "If You Want My Love" (You Got It) from 1982.
Tailor made for the company I worked for back then - Burbach Broadcasting, whose flagship was K-104 (and You Got It!) in Erie...it's Cortland/Ithaca clone OK100 used the same line, "OK-100, and You Got It!".
Needless to say, that Cheap Trick stiff stayed in recurrents for a good year or more. Fun times...most all of us from that day ended up in Top 25 markets.

Peter and Gordon-A Knight In Rusty Armor....
A true treasure....."they had twins...and came in tins". I had the 45 until moving a few years ago (Capitol swirl label, if I recall).
Now one that probably appeared in the previous 150 pages (if not, shame on all of us).....
One Monkey Don't Stop No Show (Honey Cone)....just heard it on XM 70's!
And while we're on a "monkey" theme, some CanCon from Frank Mills (circa 1971), If You Love Me Love Me Love.

I remember 'KB playing both of these...and since "Love Me, Love Me, Love" was long forgotten (except by us industry geeks) when "Music Box Dancer" came out seven years later, it became a piece of neat trivia that Frank Mills actually sings as well as plays the piano.
Then there's Mary Hopkin's last foray into the Top 40 in 1970: "Temma Harbour".
