Chronological
Notes: In June, 1965, Perry recorded seven songs in a Nashville
follow-up
session to his
successful first album "The Scene Changes" recorded at the beginning of
that year. For
one reason or another, an album never resulted from these sessions and
he returned to
New York in the Fall of 1965 for his first recordings with Nick Perito
and
A&R Producer Andy
Wiswell, where two songs of the Nashville recorded songs
"Bye, Bye Little
Girl" and "Meet Me At The Altar" were re-recorded in Webster Hall
on November 12th,
but this time with Nick Perito conducting and The Ray Charles
Singers singing
background. Of the seven songs recorded in Nashville, only two
were released as
a single during the summer of 1965, "Oowee, Oowee" and it's
flip side "Summer
Wind" charting in the United States at No. 88. Perry never
recorded again
with Anita Kerr or the very distinctive Anita Kerr Quartet.
