[78-L] Vocalist query on Ben Selvin 'My mom', Columbia 2628-D.

[Taylor Bowie]

Thought I'd recalled that it was Al Shayne who did some solo vocals around 
this time on Columbia and Crown,  but I just played it and as Royal states 
it's a real "Jolie" sort of a style.  So I dunno and hope one or more of you 
do know and will tell us.

I'd also opine that My Mom might be the worst song ever written by 
Donaldson.

The other side is Dubin & Warren's Too Many Tears,  with a fine vocal by 
Paul Small...not always one of my faves but he does stellar work here.   The 
song has one of the saddest minor melodies in any pop tune.
