"Somewhere" #26 4/16/1966

This "West Side Story" Sondheim/Bernstein tune was the final chart appearance for Mr. 1-2-3 Len Barry, ex-lead singer for early 60's band the Dovells, straight outta West Philadelphia. Len later produced a 1969 Top 20 instrumental titled "Keem-O-Sabe" by the Electric Indian, which is notable for a very early appearance from Daryl Hall as in Hall and Oates. Many members of that group became part of MFSB, responsible for backing those great Philly soul records of the 70's.
