Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
*****
From Billboard March 2 1974
*NEW ON THE CHARTS *
Bill Amesbury
VIRGINIA TOUCH ME LIKE YOU DO #81
Neil Bogart's new Casablanca label arrives on the Hot 100 wth its very first release . The artist is a 21-year-old Toronto based writer-singer-guitarist -producer who made a strong local reputation with various groups before cutting VIRGINIA as his first soloist disk for Canada's Yorkville label . The tall, slender Amesbury co-wrote and produced his hit in rollicking Tony Orlando & Dawn good-timey style.
little did anyone know that this marked the arrival of a very soon to be major player in the record industry....
