Yup not only was the tuning off, but there were a few wrong notes period!! But you know what????It's still out here and that's what counts....I'm putting it in a playlist, right or wrong....xo

When we first heard the "final", everyone was upset. I remember Tony Juliano calling me and saying two things....."why is background turned down so low " "and who the hell is playing the piano". The interesting thing about this song is, Ray is singing one part, and we're singing another. If you listen to both parts you get the story. I don't know of another song back in 1961-62 that had that concept. It's a testament to Ray's genius as a song writer

Wonderful tune :))
Either the piano needs tuned, or he's playing flat!

I've noticed the same thing on a handful of early 60's Al Browne productions. I think the piano they were using at this studio was out of tune. It may have even been moved around a bit because Al had a few makeshift recording spaces in Brooklyn. A lot of his material he recorded in the back of a record shop
