The Yank

That copy was from popsike- I believe from a sale in 2017.

Here's one-

I found this Spanish label release with the writers listed as Covay/Knight/ Otis which seems about right- it does sound like it could have been cut around the time of "Letter Full Of Tears. To be fair,I've also seen the writers listed as Goffin/ King which doesn't sound like one of their songs-

"My World..." was actually released in May of 1967. The Detroit riots happened at least a month later so there really is no correlation between the song and the riots. See #25 on the survey-

"Desiree" was the A side in the U.S., not sure what happened in Australia -

Okay - so the title is spelled differently and it's not exactly the same song but... how did the new version also come with a new writer ? Does anyone know?

I can't find any mention or ad of Charles Mintz in Record World in 1969, ( there is a mention of his followup single in 1970) but I did find this survey with the flip side of the single at #24-

Wasn't expecting this when the Walmart ad started -

It's actually Anacrusis Music (from Record World -June 30, 1973)

That picture was taken from the September 1, 1962 issue of Cashbox magazine. Here's something you might be interested in. I don't think the project ever got off the ground but would have been quite an album. I know Betty and Jerry did team up for the "Delicious Together album". From Record World- July 18,1964-
