Barry Gordon - Take Off The Veil

I picked this 45 up for a quarter. I'm on the lookout for a cleaner copy, but for now this one does just fine. Produced by Steve Barri, you can hear his influence on the track, as it has the exact same sound other records he produced do. You know exactly who Barry Gordon is...he had a major hit record with Nuttin' For Christmas, backed by Art Mooney and His Orchestra on MGM. Here he is roughly 13 years later, all grown up, and sounding very well. It's a shame he couldn't shake from the mold of being a novelty artist, because some of his later recordings are just spectacular. I hope you dig this one because I sure do, and you can hear great records like this one live every night on www.topshelfoldies.com!

Hey, it teenage Barry "Junior Wetworth" Gordon. I didn't know he sang as a teen.

[bigmigs94]

could you please upload some more of his music???

I am mainly familiar with this guy via the short-lived Barney Miller spin-off "Fish" from the mid 70s. I also vaguely recall him playing a kid named "Chopper" on an episode of "Leave It To Beaver." I didn't know he also made records.
