@MrCuckooclock Yes, Merrell Fankhauser responded to one of my post, can't remember which one? Browes around, a good friend of his also responded, you may want to contact her. It's been 2 years so I don't remember their names. I think it was "Too Many Heartbreaks"
Please Be Mine and Too Many Heartbreaks were Merrell Fankhauser's first recorded vocals in early 1963 after leaving the instrumental Surf band The Impacts. The song charted at #4 on many California radio stations.
Right on the nose my friend!! I always wondered about payola, Alan Freed got caught, was he the only one doing it? Makes one wonder why them DJs were not playing these sounds. If I heard this when it was 1st released, I would have ran all the way to the record store, really sad when you think about it.
As a former resident of Lancaster,Ca. it's great to hear this again. So very long ago.

Music history is filled to overflowing with
highly talented vocalists/instrumentalists
who, after making their record, either scored
low on the charts or, even worse, failed to
chart altogether. They weren't necessarily all
bad recordings; they simply did not get all
the attention they needed. This is a pretty
good example of such an act.
