Cry To Me

There’s not a lot of info online about this song, so I need to quote directly from the CD compilation that the song comes from. It’s a bit of an honor to do so since the liner notes are written by Bob Stanley of the magnificent British pop band Saint Etienne, who are tied with Pet Shop Boys as my favorite band of all time.

Bob Stanley is quite the expert on pop music. So much so that he recently released a book about it called “Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Story of Modern Pop.” He also has a long career as a music journalist in England, writing for Melody Maker, NME, The Guardian and The Times, when he’s not crafting beautiful pop songs with bandmates Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell. (Post on them coming soon).

It was in 1994 that Stanley worked with R.P.M. Records to compile and write notes for the first Dream Babes brit-girl CD. It was a smash hit for me. I awarded it best album of the year, an easy choice with TEN five star songs. And probably most importantly it gave me a new genre of music to obsess over for years to come.

Here’s what Bob Stanley wrote about the 1966 song “Cry To Me” by The Track:

“The Track were a two girl/four boy bunch drawn together from all over Britain, apparently formed exclusively to play at Tiffany’s in Manchester. Their one and only single for Columbia featured a so-so “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” on the topside, with a splendid Don Paul song “Cry To Me” on the flip. The girls sounding most Breakaways-esque here were Leeds-born Sandra Stevens, and a Scot called Eve Eden, who - as Eve Graham - would later become a multi-million selling New Seeker.”

If you’re old enough to remember the classic 1971 Coca Cola commercial (with the hillside of people singing “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”) than you actually know the New Seekers. Eve Graham sang lead on the original version of the song, which you can see on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKznrEjJK4

But let’s turn the clock back even further to 1966, before Eve was famous, and take a listen to a lost gem brought back to life for a new generation. Thanks Bob!
