Feb 20, 2006 | 3:48 pmDunno about the rest of the album, but "A Little Lovin'," which even dented US Pop charts, is quite the forgotten gem.
A big, orchestral sound (which really pops on the 12") and a a singing duet that seemd to understand and judiciously write around their limitations. The result is charming, and one of those rare records that gets away with climaxing by raising a key!
No surprise, given the production talent.
I can't find a photo of them. Were they negro?
Do you know that their Que Sera Sera was based on the 1963 rock version by the High Keyes. See it on youtube.
