Another one of those oddball 45's that was more notable for the backing musicians and singers. Jerry Murray recorded under the name Jerry-O for the Shout label, owned by the notorious Bert Berns. The moonlighting Funk Brothers of Motown fame made the music. The female singers were the Debonaires (Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent) who later hooked up with Tony Orlando and became known as Dawn, with a string of huge hits in the 70's. Trivia: Telma Hopkins famously shouted out "Shut your mouth!" on Isaac Hayes' theme from "Shaft."
