Another version! I also have one on Sue by Jackie Shane...great great
song. It also popped up by someone else (Rosy Greer maybe?) on a Kent UK
soul compilation in the 80's of 60's material. Maybe I'll bring the 45 to
play at the party.

Maybe the original of "I Just Can't Help Believin'" was by
Wayne Newton (MGM 14014) who released it at the end of 1968.
I know Bobby Vee's interpretation on his "Gates, Grills & Railings"
album, at the beginning of 1969. Do you know who produced Bob Dileo's
one (May 1969)?
Michel.

I have been researching and creating a discography of the
Hit Records label (and associated labels) from Nashville.
They operated from 1961 to 1973 making sound-a-likes of
current hits. They issued them on singles sould out of
their own racks in drug stores, discount stores, etc. The
songs were compiled on albums on the Hit, Spar, and Modern
Sound labels. The albums are usually easy to spot because
the song titles will be displayed but usually no mention
of an artist, also the albums normally have the word
Compatible across the top or in a box on the back cover.
While you all are rummaging throught used record stores,
or Goodwill stores in your neighborhood, please keep me in
mind. I can compile a listing but I will basically take any
rock album on these labels. That's because some of what i
have is in very bad condition. The Country & Western Hits
label of 45s and country albums are also of interest.
Later recordings on the Plantation House label, Nashville
Sound label under the names, Now Generation and Nashville
Country Jamboree is badly needed. The company was on its
last legs when these were issued, and therefore not in
circulation long.
Please email me privately,
