Today I have a few more unreissued singles from one of my favorite artists, Sue Raney, and to fill out the post I'm adding an unreissued single from the wonderful, tragic singer, Beverly Kenney.

| Sue Raney |
We start off with a terrific version of "Try to See It My Way," a Bacharach-David song from the Rick Nelson-Joanie Sommers TV musical,
On the Flip Side. Raney has an amazing facility with this kind of pop material. "Try to See It My Way" was actually the B-side of this single. The A-side was the Dallas Frazier song "There Goes My Everything," a country hit for Jack Greene and a pop semi-hit for Engelbert Humperdinck. This is from late 1966.
Also from Sue is an obscure 1974 release on the Alithia label of Sue's own somg, "Never Say Goodbye." There is no B-side for this one - "Never Say Goodbye" is in mono on one side, stereo on the other.

| Beverly Kenney |
Virtually all of Beverly Kenney's records have been reissued, but not this 1958 single, to my knowledge. It contains two good songs, beautifully done by Kenney - "The Magic Touch" and "Your Love Is My Love." Bill Reed shared this briefly on his blog
The People vs. Dr. Chilledair, but this transfer is from my own copy.
Speaking of Bill, I imagine he wouldn't mind if I plugged Sue Raney's most recently CD, which he produced. It is called
Listen Here. Sue is in glorious form, and is backed by pianist Alan Broadbent. She is a treasure.

Please leave a comment - the blogger likes company.
Thanks for these. By any chance, do you have the Julie London singles?
@ oscarjaffe - I may have one or the other, but nothing major.
Buster, thank you as always for sharing the great music!
Thanks so much for these singles. I am thrilled to have a chance to hear these.

thanks, Buster!!

Thank you for these great Sue Raney and Beverly Kenney singles. They sound wonderful. And thank you so much for all the great Margaret Whiting singles you've posted. This is one of my favorite sites on the net.
Thank you, all!
Thank you, Buster. From the Gift-Horse-in-the-Mouth Department: Any more Jeri Southern singles in Buster's Electric House?
Hello PH - I think I may have exhausted my unre-released Jeri Southern supply. I will be going back to Margaret Whiting soon, though.
Sue Raney singing Bacharach is Sunday listening at its best. Thanks. It always amazes me at how well jazz singers perform him. Think of Blossom Dearie singing "Trains and Boats and Planes."
That Bacharach track is nice. Good to see Sue is still working.
Thanks for posting.
Way cool...
Thanks for the Raney's :)

Raney and Kenney are two of my faves.
Too bad Raney's album with Nelson Riddle never made it to cd in stereo (as far as I can tell). If it pops up in your collection, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks for these singles.
For those who don't know, today is Kenney's birthday (1932).
Thnx Buster - while I'm late to the show, I'm thrilled to see so many older links are still alive Kenney is a particular favorite, and this is a one-off discovery for me.
Many thanks again, Buster!
