Ray Pollard “Darling, Take Me Back (I’m Sorry)” (United Artist 856, 1965)
I always like a man on his knees. Umm, Pleading for forgiveness on records (lift your minds out of the gutter why don’t you). And it’s all the better set to an EPIC arrangement.
Ray Pollard got his start as the primary lead of The Wanderers, performing since 1950, but by the fall of 1964, Pollard, then 34, struck out on his own and released a brace of singles on the United Artist label. Unfortunately for him, at the same time crooner Lenny Welch released his version of this song, and got the TV appearances, and both versions cancelled each other out.
A Brilliant lost heartbreak single.
