1962
LOVE LETTERS * KETTY LESTER * ERA 3068 * USA
This is one of those records that are a definite hit with those in the boob, as that is, even more than the services, one of the few institutions that bring about the writing down of personal sentiments by many members of the underclass who would surely, in circumstances of their own choosing, be less inclined to the epistolary arts. Still, whoever bought it, it was a hit in Great Britain in the spring of 1962, spending 14 weeks on the Pop charts and reaching the number 4 spot. It was the first of eleven singles she had released in the UK in the 1960s; five on London; four on RCA; and two on Capitol, none of which fared as well as this enduring Soul song with a Country flavour.
