BOBBY GOLDSBORO DISCOGRAPHY
Best remembered for his 1968 chart-topper, "Honey," singer/songwriter Bobby Goldsboro was born January 18, 1941 in Marianna, FL. After relocating to Dothan, AL, while in his teens, he went on to study at Auburn University, quitting school after his sophomore year to pursue music full-time. During the early '60s, Goldsboro played guitar in Roy Orbison's backing band, mounting a solo career in early 1964 and soon scoring a Top Ten hit with the self-penned "See the Funny Little Clown." His sophisticated yet sentimental vocal style yielded Top 40 entries throughout the middle of the decade, among them "Whenever He Holds You," "Little Things," "Voodoo Woman," "It's Too Late," and "Blue Autumn"; though Goldsboro primarily wrote and recorded his own material, he also notched a minor hit with the Burt Bacharach/Hal David novelty "Me Japanese Boy I Love You." "Honey," a maudlin tale about the tragic death of a young bride, remained at number one for five weeks in the spring of 1968, reaching the number two spot in the U.K. soon after and falling just shy of the top spot upon re-entering the British charts in 1975.

Hello Ozzieguy, a happy new year and best wishes for 2022.Thanks for sharing all the good singer and albums!!! One Question: Do you had time to look for a CD from Danny Rivers ( Joe Meek)?? and second question: I like your CD from Geoff Goddard:
There is a song on that CD that is only a minute long.Is that right: song:Joe Meek demo--I m gonna love you til the day I died.or do you have a full version from that song??? Greetings Thomas
Hello Ozzieguy, a Happy New Year from Germany. One question too: Do you have the Hadley LPs by Shirley Thoms? Collections 1-3 on vinyl I have. The CDs of reissues I have too. I'm a vinyl-freak and looking for HLP 1204 & 1214. Would be great. Greetings from the other side of the globe

You are doing a wonderful job with those discographies.
I can only imagine how time consuming the whole thing is - searching for music and, of course, their covers.
Thanks for everything and keep up the awesome work.
Happy New Year!

A side note: Honey was titled Pledge Of Love originally but the hit happened causing the retitling of the 1968 album,the Sunset album got the title instead.
