Fantastic track, it's by Kenny Roberts on Pye and I think it's a cover of a Bobby Vee song. Written by "Leka / Shuster"

That's the one Pete, if anyone could verify the writers that would be great and groovy.

Umm, if you'd asked me this yesterday I could have also told you that Bobby Vee's brilliant original is a Jack Nitzsche job. Came out on UK Liberty, too. Fantastic record, unlike any of the other versions mentioned here...

Seconded, Kenny Roberts is pure Northern Soul (with emphasis on Northern and less Soul ). Bobby Vee is nice, full orchestra production, but a bit cheesy and much slower than Kenny Roberts.

Here' a scan of the Bobby Vee LP Track listing which confirms the writers as in previous posts

I seem to remember the whole LP was Blue Eyed Soul - His version of "Let Nobody Love You" is worth a listen to.

The Four Tops medley on Side 2 was actually booted on a 45 by Simon Soussan as the "Detroit Shakers" , a name he used more than once or twice for "cover-up" artists (The two Capitol tracks spring to mind).

I like Run Like The Devil by Bobby Vee . I did go looking for the Liberty 45 a while ago and can't remember if it was more than I wanted to pay, or hard to find so I settled for the LP.

Have to see if Jim will do me an mp3 of Run Like The Devil and put it up on here.

just heard bobbys version - ok at best

kenny roberts walks all over it in fact!

Gotta remember that Bobby Vees version is just that, another version, and not a northern soul contender

Actually Bobby Vee's "Do What You Gotta Do" LP is one of the great blue eyed soul LP's from the sixties and his version of Let Nobody Love You is - if truth be told - in my opinion just a touch better than Virginia Blakely's rarity on Mojo. That will horrify the soul purists of course and may well inspire a rush of poison posts in this direction . His version wins out for the crystal clear production, arrangement and instrumentation.

Information on session musos and background singers doesn't appear to be instantly available. If it was recorded in LA though it probably has Darlene Love and the Blossoms singing background and probably the usual West Coast muso suspects who played on so many soul classics ...

He recorded two other also excellent LPs in '66 & '67 in a similar soul vein . Interesting thing is that in an interview he did many years later that he pretty much dismissed this period of his career as a blue eyed soul man ...

Bobby's 'Look At Me Girl' is a great Northern tune, also an L.P of the same title (1967 ish) and some great stuff on that also.

Pick the bones outta this one
