Ray Brown & the whispers - Pride ,1965 , Dedicated to the wonderful Wendy & sister.
Ray and The Whispers' second single -- and one of their very best recordings-- was a galloping cover of an obscure Billy J. Kramer album track called Pride. It was released in April, backed by an equally fine version of P.F. Sloan's Say It Again. "Pride" contains one of Ray's best vocal performances, and some fine guitar work by new member Al Jackson. It's also an excellent illustration of how Aussie bands were taking lesser-known tracks by overseas artists and turning out versions which often far surpassed the originals . http://www.milesago.com
