Bonnie Was A Treasure, by Phil Milstein; available on the website of the American Song-Poem Music Archives at: http://www.songpoemmusic.com/news.htm#bonnie The article relates the story of the "Home Of The Brave" singer's alternate career, under the name Bonnie Graham, doing sessions for the song-poem labels Preview and MSR, which situated her as likely the only singer recorded by both Phil Spector and his song-poem counterpart, Rodd Keith.
