- Billy Joe Royal: "You make me feel like a man" (US Col. promo -66) bidder for
same title, this US blue eyed cum c&w'er teamed up with Joe South for soulies' delights 66-68.
- Chris Andrews: "Too bad you don'twant me" (UK Decca -65) Posh Sandie Shaw's East London manager showing Falsetto Metallico's possibilities as well as limitations. Do we have a winner?

- Gene Pitney: "She's a heartbreaker" (US Musicor -68) Inez Foxx' brudda was Soul Hand behind Pitney's stompers.Here even heavier RnB production w/ Teacho Wiltshire and Jerry Williams plus Charlie F. Pitney's and Swamp Dogg's singing are def. NOT a hundred miles apart.

- Dave Clark 5: "Everybody get together" (Ger. Col.-70) Nice'n' wobbly Fab 4/'Rain' bass line with psych drone. NB do fade halfway, as Rugby Union chorals step up.

- Marketts: "Out of limits" (US WB -64) Don't think of these as real (surf) group, rather as usual LA studio suspects? Also did 'Batman Theme' which surf absorbed NW Londoner Keith Moon begged onto Who's RSG EP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_V3TX4dfdU
- Rocco Granata: "Pupetta" (Sw. Sonet -63) Strange duck, this. US 63 production, done closely over massive 59 'Marina' hit of this here italo-belgian jaz accordionist. Vespa music, if there ever were. Cannot find 'Pupetta' video, 60s 'Marina' must do.
