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.

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.
