Mystery Songs
99% of the work of this blog is trying to dig up facts about singers and recordings but sometimes I just hit a dead end. Even with the wonders of the internet to help me, information about both Sam E. Solo and Jackie Montre El was impossible to find. What I do know though is that these are both terrific records. "Tears Keep Falling" is a wonderful midtempo weepie with a heartbreaking, pleading vocal from Mr. Solo. This was released on the Imperial label in 1966 as the b-side of the single "Love Is Not A Game." Jackie Montre El is another mystery woman (with a strange surname), "Doomed By Jealousy" is a haunting ballad with a beautiful arrangement and production by "the Creole Beethoven" Wardell Quezergue. Amazingly this stunning record was also a b-side, to the ABC single "I Worship The Ground You Walk On" released in 1967.
The other mystery is why neither of these tracks appear to be available on CD anywhere. But I guess that's where I come in with my free downloads magic. Enjoy.
