Roburt Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Betty certainly must have liked this Leo Austell / Milton Bland (Monk Higgins) song as it escaped by her on 4 different US singles ... It first appeared on the Renee label in 1962 .... it was then picked up by the Leaner Bros and released C/W "I've Got A Claim On You" on One-derful (#4806) ..... that 45 was then quickly re-jigged and the cut was coupled with "I'll Be There" to orm a revised #4806. In it's One-derful form it charted locally in Chicago ..... Betty moved on with her career and had much success with Vee Jay but they went bust and so she signed with ABC Records (who always had a strong Chicago presence). With ABC, she cut the song again in 1966 with Johnny Pate acting as producer / arranger / conductor (ABC #45-10861). This incarnation of the song again did well & even charted as far away as WYLD in Feb 67. Anyone know why she seemed to like this song so much (& I know she cut quite a few Leo Austell songs so they must have been friends).
