Bobby Bare "He Was A Friend Of Mine"

This one's for "jekiwe", an uncharted 1964 single by Bare that you can find on the 1967 LP shown in the video...if you can find it! Great song I hadn't ever heard myself until now!

thank you once again wilburscott....I remember I had a copy of this song at one time and a record sleeve to go along with it...but ???????? I know it never charted but there's no reason it didn't........again.....I appreciate you tracking this one down and if I may ask, on what album is it????

@jekiwe I found it on the album pictured in the video, 1967's "The Best Of Bobby Bare". I'm not sure if it was on an album before that or a single-only release. :)
