<<"an early Dawn recording" (before Tony Orlando came along)>>
Don't know about the Debonaires, but the girls who became Dawn
reportedly sing backup on an early Funkadelic single.

As good a time as any to point to Tony Orlando's "Bless You" as one
of the great early Goffin/King Brill Building records.

Doc Rock's list referred to this title:
"You Can Be Wrong About Boys"
I assume he's referring to Here Come The Girls Vol.4, which I
heartily recommend and which includes Julie Grant's totally
outstanding Tony Hatch-produced "Lonely Without You."
Now here's the confusing part:
"You Can Be Wrong About Boys" was originally vol. 4 of the Here
Come The Girls series, an import (here in the US) from British
label Sequel. However, it was also issued stateside as "Here Come
The Girls Vol.1" and it was given the catalog number Sequel 1012-2.
I bought it at a Borders and it was how I got hooked into the
HCTG series. I guess its strength was the reason that it was
issued first in the US; however, I guess it didn't sell that well,
because no others in the series were reissued with a new numbering.
So You Can Be Wrong About Boys is volume 4 of the Here Come the
Girls Series, but it also might be volume 1, even though there's
another volume 1. Oi. It's too complicated.
Two more recommendations, both on RPM records from the UK:
Dream Babes vol.1: Am I Dreaming? (RPM 137)
24 cuts, described thus no the back of the disc: "Presenting two
dozen long-forgotten classics from the sixties, the Golden Age of
the British Girl sound. Folk, Rock, Soul Stompers, string-driven
Ballads, teen-dream Pop, and even Northern Soul, the UK Girl sound
effectively soundtracked the sixties: you'll find them all on this
CD, which was specially researched, compiled and sleevenoted for
RPM by St. Etienne's self-confessed Brit Girl fanatic Bob Stanley.
..."
jack sez: it's pretty damn good.
Julie Grant: Count On Me! Complete Pye Sessions (RPM 133)
Personal faves, in addition to Lonely Without You, are Hello Love,
a groovy cover of Up On the Roof, Watch What You Do With My Baby,
and a cover of Baby Baby ("I still love you....").
By the way, RPM has a terrific web site (www.rpmrecords.co.uk/),
with great pix. They got a couple of Timi Yuro, Doc, including one
she did for some kind of teen bra company. Quel hoot!

It's a great compilation, but very little of it sounds at all like
girl groups. It leans more towards Southern soul; the sisters
(mostly solo) sing more often like women than girls.
