Little Eva - STAND BY ME (1965)

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Amy 943) Out of New York, this obscure disc was issued in October of 1965. From the ’Dimension Doll’ who had the world-wide smash, ’The Loco-motion’, Little Eva is teamed up with producers, Feldman-Goldstein-Gottehrer. If the backing track to this tune sounds like an unissued McCoys or Strangeloves track on Bang Records, it’s because this production team was responsible for those group’s hits and this track was recorded during the same period. I wouldn’t be surprised if an unreleased version by one or both of them exists. It’s a driving dancefloor take on the Ben E. King hit that is loaded with bass and drums galore and is one of Eva Boyd’s best lost singles.
