Title: Mid 1960s "Girl Don't Tell Me" Cover
Post by: Shane on September 17, 2014, 09:15:33 PM
Just stumbled upon this... I've never heard it before.  A jangly mid-60s cover of "Girl Don't Tell Me" by some obscure 13 year old singer.  I made it about halfway through and was about to hit the "x" button as I felt I'd heard enough, but then some very nice background vocals kicked in.  Makes me think about what this track might have sounded like with some more BB background vox.

Sure, another Gary Usher footnote.  Never thought about Keith being 13 at the time, tho. 
Did everyone that worked for Gary end up as a Christian artist?

yup he was in fact he is considered one of the most popular Christian artists, unfortunately  he died in a plane crash.. very talented guy.his songs leaned more towards the Beatles sound and his voice sounded a lot like Freddie mercury.
