Randy Fuller - It's Love, Come What May

What a great record. This was originally intended to be a release by the Bobby Fuller Four but after his death, the record was shelved for a while. Bob Keane took Bobby's brother Randy into the studio and using a 2-track tape they had the Bobby Fuller Four basic mix in one channel and put Randy on the other. Mixing that back to mono, Bob made Randy's voice overpower the rest of the song, and it came out as a Randy Fuller solo record, even though Bobby Fuller and the rest of the group are also on this release. There was also a release by the Randy Fuller Four at one time, as well. This is a great record that deserved a better fate than it got. At least there's a place you know it can be heard on the internet and that is at http://www.topshelfoldies.org/ where you can hear great songs like this one live every night!

Actually it was released one week before Bobby Died as the Bobby Fuller Four. I had a box of them and passed them out to everyone, not keeping any for myself. There were never any more pressed. This version has Randy's voice a little stronger but you can still Roberts (Bobbys) voice coming thru quite well. I can't remember what the flip side was now.... TopshelfTom how about getting us the "B" side? Thanks alot for the "A" side. Rick the Roady

@bffour Both sides of this promo are It's Love, Come What May. Stock copies had Wolfman on the B side, an earlier Bobby Fuller Four record issued under another name. I know of NO copies of this disc that credit Bobby Fuller.

I don't know of any other artists doing this song.... i know theres a Bobby Fuller Four demo of it (and they are in the background of this version) but i don't know of any other actual artists recording it.

@TopshelfTom - I am thankful for those of you who post and share the history of music. I saw Randy Fuller last month (Nov 2011) and I am glad to report he is in fine form and fine voice. He KILLED this tune!

All blessings to you and yours. :-)

@eeaoa Allmusic confirms is as Bobby Fuller and Mary Stone. Though Bobby usually writes it as B. Fuller, it can still go either way.

I love this song. I know Bobby's vocal version from Rhino's "Greatest Hits" LP, but I'd never heard Randy's vocal version before. It's really excellent.

Anyone know who actually wrote this song? I see that it's credited on the label as being by Mary Stone and R. Fuller. Does that R stand for Randall or Robert? It seems like Bobby's writing credits were usually B. Fuller. Did Randy really write this one? It just seems strange that Randy and Mary wrote just this one song together.

I just love it. Randy and Bobby sound terrific together! I miss you Bobby, my angel.

To Randy--my thoughts are with you today, July 18--44 yrs since you lost your brother. The Bobby Fuller Four were just fantastic. I think of Bobby often, and I'm so glad we still can share his (and your) great music. ~~~Marilyn
