I had the pleasure of knowing Fred Johnson their original bass - I met them all at their managers home Jules Kruspir in Upper St. Claire (Pittsburgh suburb). I played guitar in a sesson with Fred. They had 3 good flip sides this one "Goodbye to Love' and 'Really Need Your Love' all worthy of being 'A' sides!
here it is again, that "flip side" and a super one at that! nearly acappella and a terrific sound. thank you sooooooooo much for the memories. tom d brick,nj
@doowopman49 Their first hit, Blue Moon was a B-side & recorded in a single take! I spent an hour with Stu Phillips last week - the producer who put the Marcels on the map 50 years ago this month. An amazing composer/arranger/conductor, he did the music for Battlestar Gallactica, Buck Rogers & Knight Rider & 12 albums as leader of Hollyridge Strings. go to his channel at bsgkr2000 & show Stu some love - he's earned it. We wouldn't have had Blue Moon & the Marcels without him !!! chuck
Beautiful song! Always adored it. Nice surprise to hear Little Isadore cover it perfectly at the Philly Doo Wop festival this weekend! genius! thanks so much! Doo wop for-evah!
@kuda1552 RIGHT, THE INQUISITORS VERSION, LIKE ALL THEIR COVERS ARE JUST T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C-A-L-L-Y COMMENDABLE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED GROUP ! TOM D BRICK,NJ

Once you played this flip side, you almost forgot Heartaches was on the A side. This should have been the hit.

I would love to know the lyrics as I am hard of hearing and was then when the record came out but I hear enough of it to still love the song.
