HOLD ON This Bobby Goldsboro original is the B-side of the 1966 “No Fun at the Fair” single #UP 1166 released in England.  In this rocker, the singer warns his straying love.  “You’re throwing kisses just a little too far.”  The chorus is:  “You better hold on, baby, or I might have to let you go” TOO MANY PEOPLE An alternate version of the song released on the 1966 “Blue Autumn” album, this was recorded in England.  It features more prominent drums, and like “Hold On,” was arranged and conducted by Charles Blackwell.  The song is available on UK 1967 single #UP 1177. Each song is only available on 7” vinyl records (singles and extended play singles) in monaural form.

Bobby Goldsboro is just  such a rare and gifted talent.  He sings with such clarity and sensitivity that he is a lyricist’s dream, and with dramatic interpretation that complements the orchestrator’s dynamics.  Beyond his performing ability, Bobby has an awareness of what makes a hit song.  He has written many himself.”  GOLDEN PRIZE - JAPAN - 1968 KING RECORDS #GP-4 SIDE ONE:  Honey / As Tears Go By / Me Japanese Boy, I Love You / Michelle / Yesterday / A Fool Such As I / Lonely Street SIDE TWO:  Autumn of My Life / See the Funny Little Clown / Little Things / It’s Too Late / Voodoo Woman / Whenever He Holds You / Blue Autumn  Includes several pages of photographs and song lyrics.
