The Olympics - (Artist Of The Week)

[45cellar]

>>> THE OLYMPICS <<<

[Amsterdam Russ]

From January 1965 - I'm comin' home / Rainin' in my heart

From March 1965 - Good lovin' / Olympic shuffle

From July 1965 - Baby I'm yours / No more will I cry

I have to say that Baby I'm yours is an absolutely sublime track, my favourite by the group and one of the best on the label (IMHO). All scans taken from the website Discography of Loma Records

Have to say I agree Russell, regarding "Baby I'm Yours" . It's my fav by them too! and much as I adore anything by Dee Dee Warwick, I do prefer the Olympics's version over her take on it on Blue Rock.

and coupled with the superb "No More Will I Cry" makes the Olympics record a cracking double sider!

It's great to know that I'm not alone in appreciating what for me is an over-looked soul masterpiece. Can't say that Dee Dee's version does anything for me at all - 'lily' and 'gilded' are the words that come to mind as far as her take is concerned.

I just bought a demo of this, and it has "Baby I'm yours" crossed out and "Another lonely Saturday" written in. Love to know who did this.

There's also a version (titled "Baby I'm yours" by Benice Swanson, on Chess.

I've had the BS and DDW for decades, but I prefer the Olympics
