Wade Flemons - I'll Come Runnin'

This is a great 45 by Wade, which is relatively unknown. Hidden on the B side of his version of Ain't That Lovin' You Baby, this should've been the A side and should've been a big hit for him. Actually, this tune sounds like it would be perfect for James Hunter to record....however I understand he only records originals....James, will ya reconsider, huh?? This is perfect for you!! You can catch great records like this every night of the week live at www.topshelfoldies.org!

There are a few songs called "I'll Come Runnin'". Not knowing anything about Wade Flemons or the time period in which he recorded, I clicked on this one when I saw it in my subscriptions box today because I wondered if it would turn out to be Neil Diamond's song with this title, which was the B-side of "Cherry Cherry". And ironically, an obscure "Cherry Cherry" version showed up in my subscriptions box today, so that would have really been something if a version of its B side came today, too!

@rslitman There's a version of Cherry Cherry I like by the Coral Reef on the Epic label -- it's a rather strange version..... an aquired taste, really.

The one that showed up yesterday was by Jonathan King. I believe the only US hit he had was the super-boring (in my opinion) "Everyone's Gone to the Moon". But his "Cherry Cherry" is a highly spirited version. The version by the Music Machine is quite different from both Neil's version and the better-known Music Machine songs such as "Talk Talk". I'll have to look for the Coral Reef version.
