BONNIE AND THE TREASURES
The song, by Brill Building experts Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, is a Shangri-Las-y tale told by a teenage girl who can't understand why her boyfriend was suspended from school - for the length of his hair, fercrissake.
"Land of the free," indeed. This little story was full of contemporary resonance, and I don't mean recording-studio echo either, and it probably would have been an enormous hit had Capitol not released a far blander version with country-crossover artist Jody Miller, who charted at #25.
It doesn't really sound THAT much like Ronnie Spector, does it? Rumors to the contrary apparently notwithstanding, Charlotte O'Hara (née Matheny) sang lead on this Mark II version of Phil Spectors Wall of Sound, produced by Spector protégé Jerry Riopelle and issued on a short-lived Philles subsidiary label. Behind Charlotte were Sherlie Matthews and Clydie King.
Perfect repro of one of the coolest Girl Group 45s!
