LEN BARRY "1-2-3" B/W "bullseye" 1965
until i just looked up the Wiki i actually thought Len(despite the name Len) was actually a black guy...
must have been the cool soulful vocals that gave me that impression i guess...
but no, Len was a white guy which makes this songle i=even more impressive to me because he carried off the
'black soul' perfectly, especially on the "B" side which really has a Motown sound to it in the music and vocals....
i love bith sides of this single, this is awesome stuff...
single peaked at #3 in the UK and was his only real hit out there....
here's his Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Barry
